## What kind of change does this PR introduce?
Bug fix / docs UI polish.
## What is the current behavior?
- Many docs `GlassPanel`s use `background={false}`, so hover only tweaks
the border and reads as having no hover state
- Compact icon+label grids still use `IconPanel`, which has a broken
`-z-10` hover fill and overlaps with the newer `IconLink` pattern
- Description card grids jump to 3-up too early on medium widths
## What is the new behavior?
**GlassPanel**
- Removes the `background` prop; cards always use the filled surface
with stronger border hover
- Tightens icon→description gap (`gap-6` → `gap-3`)
- Decorative icons/logos use empty `alt` so screen readers don’t hear
the title twice
**Icon tiles**
- Retires `IconPanel` from docs and deletes it from `ui-patterns`
- Uses `IconLink` / `IconLinkList` for compact navigation tiles (auth
providers, social login, etc.)
- Adds `IconLinkButton` for SMS provider pickers (same chrome, opens a
dialog)
- Adds focus styles, list labelling, and dialog-trigger ARIA where
needed
**Layout / content**
- Migrate-to-Supabase description cards on resources use `GlassPanel`
(not slim icon tiles)
- Grid spans use `md:… xl:…` so cards stay 2-up until ~1280px
- Fixes migrate links to `/guides/platform/migrating-to-supabase/…` and
SSR quickstarts to `creating-a-client` with framework query params
- Moves the Extensions list `key` onto the outer `Link`

## Additional context
Homepage compact sections already use `IconLinkList` from #48317; this
PR finishes that pattern for remaining docs `IconPanel` callsites and
cleans up GlassPanel hover.
`www/customers` only drops the removed `background` prop; those cards
already use the filled surface via `logo`.
## Test plan
- [ ] `/guides/getting-started`: GlassPanels show filled surface and
clearer border hover
- [ ] `/guides/resources`: migrate cards are GlassPanels with working
`/platform/…` links; 2-up until xl
- [ ] `/guides/auth/social-login` and auth providers partial: IconLink
tiles hover/focus correctly
- [ ] `/guides/auth/phone-login`: SMS provider buttons open dialogs;
keyboard focus works
- [ ] Docs homepage: migrate / self-host IconLinkLists unchanged in
behaviour
- [ ] `/guides/auth/server-side`: Next.js / SvelteKit cards resolve on
docs preview

## I have read the
[CONTRIBUTING.md](https://github.com/supabase/supabase/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md)
file.
YES
## What kind of change does this PR introduce?
Docs UI refactor.
## What is the current behavior?
Framework quickstarts and several other homepage grids used `IconPanel`
/ `IconPanelWithIconPicker`, which brought redundant tooltips
(duplicating the visible title), inconsistent hover treatment, and
circular icon tiles that didn't match the intended squarish look.

## What is the new behavior?
Introduces a shared `IconLink` used across the docs homepage (and
reference index) so icon+label tiles share the same composition and
hover: icon tile fill matches the surrounding surface (`surface-100`),
with a stronger border on hover, and the row uses `hover:bg-accent`.
Framework quickstarts keep the larger tile size; other sections keep the
smaller size. Also aligns Explore more GlassPanels with Build your
backend by using the same bordered background treatment.

## Additional context
Removes the unused `IconPanelWithIconPicker` wrapper now that
homepage/reference consumers go through `IconLink`.
