docs: set up Sphinx + ReadTheDocs and reorganize the documentation

Reorganize docs/ into a Diátaxis-style tree (guide / reference / studies /
maintenance / archive) and add a Sphinx + MyST documentation site wired for
ReadTheDocs.

Site / toolchain:
* .readthedocs.yaml + docs/conf.py (furo, MyST-Parser, autodoc + napoleon for
  the NumPy-style docstrings, intersphinx to cobra/numpy/pandas/scipy).
* docs/requirements.txt; docs/index.md landing page + master toctree.
* Full API reference auto-generated from docstrings — one automodule page per
  subpackage, honoring each __all__.
* 7 task-oriented user-guide pages + quickstart; section index pages.
* CHANGELOG.md / IMPROVEMENTS.md are {include}-d into the site.

Link hygiene (the move + include changed relative depth):
* All intra-docs cross-links updated to the new section paths.
* Repo-file links (src/scripts/tests) and the included root files use absolute
  GitHub URLs so they resolve on both GitHub and the RTD site.
* README/CHANGELOG/IMPROVEMENTS doc links remapped to the new paths.

Quality / CI:
* Tiny docstring formatting fixes (blank line before Parameters / bullet lists,
  literal block in binaries.py) so autodoc renders cleanly. Local build is
  warning-clean under `sphinx-build -W`.
* New `docs` CI job builds the site with `-W --keep-going`.
