fix(schemas): support splitByTags with indexFiles:false

When schemas are split by tag and there is no root barrel, operation
files (pets/pets.ts) and the consolidated <schemas>/index.faker.ts file
both previously emitted schema imports that didn't resolve. Operation
files imported '../model/pet' when the file lived at
'../model/pets/pet.ts'; the faker factory file imported types from '.'
when no root index.ts existed.

The root cause was that generateImportsForBuilder (used by every mode
writer) and writeFakerSchemaMocks both assumed a flat schemas directory
or a root barrel. Neither consulted the schema-to-tag map computed by
writeSchemasTagsSplit.

Compute the schema-to-tag map once in writeSpecs and thread it through:

- WriteModeProps: new optional schemaTagMap field
- generateImportsForBuilder: optional schemaTagMap param; the
  indexFiles:false branch routes each import into its tag subdir
  (or keeps shared schemas at the schemas root)
- single-mode / split-mode / tags-mode / split-tags-mode: forward
  schemaTagMap at all 13 generateImportsForBuilder call sites
- writeFakerSchemaMocks: same per-schema routing for the consolidated
  index.faker.ts file under indexFiles:false

Removes the validation guard that previously rejected the combination,
since the underlying import resolution now handles it correctly.

- packages/core/src/types.ts: add schemaTagMap? to WriteModeProps
- packages/core/src/writers/generate-imports-for-builder.ts: optional
  schemaTagMap param + tag-aware routing in indexFiles:false branch
- packages/core/src/writers/{single,split,tags,split-tags}-mode.ts:
  destructure schemaTagMap from WriteModeProps, forward to call sites
- packages/orval/src/write-specs.ts: hoist schemaTagMap computation to
  writeSpecs scope; thread to writeFakerSchemaMocks and writeMode;
  per-schema routing in writeFakerSchemaMocks under indexFiles:false
- packages/orval/src/utils/options.ts: remove the guard
- packages/orval/src/utils/options.test.ts: remove guard tests
- packages/core/src/writers/generate-imports-for-builder.test.ts: add
  splitByTags: false to two orval-labs#3618 schemasImportPath test cases that
  now require it (those test cases predate splitByTags becoming
  required in NormalizedSchemaOptions)
- docs/content/docs/reference/configuration/output.mdx: drop the
  indexFiles:true requirement note under splitByTags
- tests/configs/axios.config.ts: new splitByTagsFakerSchemasNoIndex
  config exercising the previously-broken combination
- tests/__snapshots__/axios/split-by-tags-faker-schemas-no-index/:
  snapshots for the new config
- tests/api-generation.spec.ts: 3 regression tests pinning per-tag
  import paths for operation files, faker factory file, and tag
  isolation
