johndoe6345789 0bbdb60f31 chore(docs): reorganize - move package docs to package directories (Phase 2)
Move 48 package-specific documentation files from /docs/packages/ to individual
package /docs/ directories. This follows the proximity principle: documentation
lives close to the code it describes.

Breakdown by package:
- admin: 5 files
- audit_log: 3 files
- dashboard: 5 files
- data_table: 5 files
- forum_forge: 5 files
- irc_webchat: 5 files
- media_center: 4 files
- notification_center: 4 files
- stream_cast: 8 files
- user_manager: 4 files

Files remaining in /docs/packages/:
- PACKAGES_INVENTORY.md (cross-project reference)
- PACKAGE_MIGRATION_ROADMAP.md (cross-project reference)
- EXPORT_IMPORT_* (3 files - no package exists yet)
- PACKAGEREPO_* (3 files - no package exists yet)

Benefits:
- Package maintainers can find related docs with package code
- Easier to keep docs in sync with package changes
- Reduces /docs/ directory to project-wide content only
