docs: auto-generate doc/api/headers.md from Doxygen XML
Replaces the hand-maintained `doc/api/headers.md` with a generated one
sourced from each header's `\file` brief and the public symbols
extracted by Doxygen into XML.  The CI workflow regenerates it on every
push to main that touches the public headers.

New files
─────────
* scripts/gen-headers-md.py — parses doc/doxygen/xml/*.xml, groups
  headers by directory (CGAL public / CGAL internals / Core), and
  writes a markdown table with header path, first-sentence brief, and
  the public symbols declared at file scope.  Skips `detail::`
  namespaces and template-specialisation duplicates.
* scripts/regen-docs.sh — convenience wrapper:
  doxygen → gen-headers-md.py → coverage report.

Workflow changes
────────────────
.gitea/workflows/doxygen-pages.yml now:
  1. Runs `bash scripts/doxygen-coverage.sh` as an informational step
     (no fail threshold yet — the script supports `--threshold N` for
     when we're ready).
  2. Re-runs `python3 scripts/gen-headers-md.py` and warns if the
     file drifted from what's in main (operator should run
     `regen-docs.sh` locally before pushing).

Doxyfile hygiene
────────────────
`HTML_TIMESTAMP` was removed in Doxygen 1.10 → replaced with the new
`TIMESTAMP = NO` to silence the obsolete-tag warning.

Effect on the reviewer-facing landing pages
───────────────────────────────────────────
Every improvement to a `\file` brief at the top of a public header now
flows automatically into both:
  * the Doxygen HTML at https://tmoussa.codeberg.page/ConformalLabpp/
  * the markdown landing at doc/api/headers.md (rendered by Codeberg
    in the repo view)
…so writers have a single source of truth (the C++ source) and
readers see the same words in both surfaces.

"""scripts/gen-headers-md.py
Auto-generate `doc/api/headers.md` from the Doxygen XML index. For
each public header under `code/include/`, the script extracts:
* the header's `@file` brief description (if present), else falls
back to the first leading `//` comment block in the source file;
* the names of all public classes, structs, free functions, enums
and typedefs declared at file scope (one-line list).
Headers are grouped by their directory:
* `code/include/CGAL/` → "CGAL public API"
* `code/include/CGAL/.../` → nested CGAL subgroups (internal_np, …)
* `code/include/*.hpp` → "Core (conformallab namespace)"
The file is auto-generated; do NOT hand-edit. Regenerate via:
bash scripts/regen-docs.sh # convenience wrapper
# or:
doxygen Doxyfile && python3 scripts/gen-headers-md.py
Prerequisite: `GENERATE_XML = YES` in the Doxyfile (already set).
