Benjamin Taylor 6f58b2c6a4 fix(runtime): unify the Intelligence key name and publish the wiring (refs OSS-881)
Three names for one value were live in CopilotKit's own documentation, and
following the wrong one with a CLI-provisioned project yields an undefined
key:

- `INTELLIGENCE_API_KEY` — what `copilotkit project select` writes, used by
  all 34 integration examples and the docs site.
- `COPILOTKIT_INTELLIGENCE_API_KEY` — the seven Channels package READMEs and
  the packaged skills. Nothing ever read it.
- `COPILOTKIT_API_KEY` — the Slack and Teams examples, and the TSDoc on
  `CopilotKitIntelligence` itself, which is what an IDE shows on hover.

`INTELLIGENCE_API_KEY` wins, because it is the name the CLI provisions and
changing it would break every scaffolded project in the wild.
`COPILOTKIT_INTELLIGENCE_API_KEY` is retired outright — no code read it.
`COPILOTKIT_API_KEY` stays readable as a deprecated alias in the two
examples that consume it, so an existing `.env` keeps working, and is
documented as deprecated everywhere it appears.

The skills reference also documented `organizationId`, sourced from a fourth
and fifth env name, as a `CopilotKitIntelligence` option. It is not one:
`CopilotKitIntelligenceConfig` has no such field, so the copy-pasteable
sample it appeared in would not compile. Removed from the samples, and the
prose that told readers to fetch a value for it corrected.

The Intelligence wiring itself was published only inside
`node_modules/@copilotkit/runtime/skills/`, and the only docs pages showing
`CopilotKitIntelligence` were the two Channels frontends — so a developer on
the plain web path had no page to reach it from. Adds
`/premium/connect-your-runtime`, which covers the wiring, how to confirm the
credential is actually consumed, and the self-hosted two-URL rule.

`scripts/validate-intelligence-env-names.ts` keeps this from drifting back.
It runs unfiltered in CI on purpose: the two workflows that would otherwise
cover it filter paths, and static/quality ignores `examples/**` — exactly
where the deprecated alias lives.
