docs: add pipeline-extension recipe and x-headroom-base-url routing docs (#1712)
## Description

Issue #1697 asked for two things: (1) a documented recipe for writing a
request-normalization `headroom.pipeline_extension` for quirky upstream
providers (the reporter's provider rejects OpenAI-spec `content: null` +
`tool_calls` assistant messages, and they solved it with a `PRE_SEND`
extension they could only discover by reading source), and (2) shipping
the `x-headroom-base-url` per-request upstream override. The header
support already exists on main (`headroom/proxy/handlers/openai.py`
honors it in the dedicated chat/responses handlers and passthrough) and
will ship with the next release-please release, so this PR delivers the
missing piece: documentation for both.

Adds `docs/content/docs/pipeline-extensions.mdx` covering the
entry-point contract (`headroom.pipeline_extension`, `PipelineStage`,
fail-open dispatch, `discover_pipeline_extensions` /
`pipeline_extensions` config), a complete copy-pasteable
`NullContentNormalizer` recipe with `pyproject.toml` entry-point
registration, and a section on per-request upstream routing with
`x-headroom-base-url` (including the `HEADROOM_STRIP_INTERNAL_HEADERS`
interaction).

Fixes #1697

## Type of Change

- [ ] Bug fix (non-breaking change that fixes an issue)
- [ ] New feature (non-breaking change that adds functionality)
- [ ] Breaking change (fix or feature that would cause existing
functionality to change)
- [x] Documentation update
- [ ] Performance improvement
- [ ] Code refactoring (no functional changes)

## Changes Made

- New page `docs/content/docs/pipeline-extensions.mdx`: lifecycle-stage
table, request-normalization extension recipe (class + entry-point
registration + discovery/fail-open semantics), and `x-headroom-base-url`
per-request routing section with a `curl` example.
- `docs/content/docs/meta.json`: added `pipeline-extensions` to the nav
after `configuration`.

## Testing

- [ ] Unit tests pass (`pytest`)
- [ ] Linting passes (`ruff check .`)
- [ ] Type checking passes (`mypy headroom`)
- [ ] New tests added for new functionality
- [x] Manual testing performed

### Test Output

```text
$ python -c "import json; json.load(open('docs/content/docs/meta.json')); print('META_OK')"
META_OK

$ python -c "
from headroom.pipeline import ENTRY_POINT_GROUP, PipelineStage
print(ENTRY_POINT_GROUP, PipelineStage.PRE_SEND)
"
headroom.pipeline_extension PipelineStage.PRE_SEND
```

## Real Behavior Proof

- Environment: Windows 11, local checkout at `upstream/main` (9fbd47ba),
Python 3.13.
- Exact command / steps: verified every documented claim against source
— `headroom/pipeline.py` (entry-point group, `PipelineStage.PRE_SEND`,
fail-open dispatch in `PipelineExtensionManager.emit`, class
auto-instantiation in `discover_pipeline_extensions`),
`headroom/proxy/server.py`
(`PipelineExtensionManager(discover=config.discover_pipeline_extensions)`
at proxy startup), `headroom/proxy/models.py` (`pipeline_extensions` /
`discover_pipeline_extensions` config fields),
`headroom/proxy/handlers/openai.py` (`x-headroom-base-url` constant and
`_resolve_openai_upstream`); validated `meta.json` still parses.
- Observed result: docs match the code contract on main; nav entry
renders between Configuration and Filesystem Contract.
- Not tested: full docs-site (Next.js) production build; end-to-end run
of the example extension against a live quirky provider (the recipe
mirrors the pattern the issue reporter confirmed working).
