Danny White 3b06c6c7cc fix(docs): unify docs card hover and retire IconPanel (#48379)
## 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
