Add a "Storage Provider Guides" section to the FOC docs #861

Description

@nijoe1

Problem

docs.filecoin.cloud has no documentation for operators who want to supply storage to Filecoin Onchain Cloud. There is no guidance on how to become a PDP provider: deploy a node, register with Warm Storage, or withdraw earnings. Today this knowledge lives only in scattered field notes and external docs (docs.filecoin.io).

Proposal

Add a new top-level "Storage Provider Guides" section, after Developer Guides, covering the provider lifecycle:

  1. Install & Run a PDP Node - full Lotus + YugabyteDB + Curio stack and Warm Storage registration. One page covering both Calibration and Mainnet.
  2. Withdraw from Filecoin Pay - withdraw available USDFC and swap to FIL. One page covering both filpay-cli and Foundry.
  3. Advanced - Nginx reverse proxy (TLS termination) and LXD container setup.

Also add a landing-page card linking to the section.

Naming

Use "Storage Provider Guides" to match the SDK terminology and the FOC marketplace. Use "PDP node" for the running stack.

Source material

Based on James (tippyflits) battle-tested field guide for PDP providers.
