## Problem

Four shared components in `apps/docs` render a hardcoded heading tag no
matter where they're used:

- `NamedCodeBlock` renders a code block's filename as an `<h6>`
- `ProjectConfigVariables` renders a variable label as an `<h6>`
- `StepHikeCompact.Details` renders a step title as an `<h3>`
- `IconPanel` renders its title as an `<h5>`

Since these are fixed, they often land in the wrong spot in a page's
heading order (like an h6 right after an h2), which breaks navigation
for screen reader users. This showed up in the [header hierarchy triage
report](https://app.notion.com/p/supabase/Playwright-E2E-Triage-Reports-3ab5004b775f81e3bc60d058fa5a02c1)
— fixing these 4 components alone resolves 72 of the 159 heading-order
violations found.

## Solution

Swapped the heading tag in each component for a `<span>` with the same
classes. None of these are really "headings" for the content that
follows, so they shouldn't be in the tag tree at all.

The one wrinkle: this codebase applies heading font weight/family
through a global CSS rule keyed off the tag name (h1-h6), not something
the tag gives you for free. So each span now sets that styling
explicitly, plus a margin to match what was there before. Nothing else
changed — same classes, same layout.

## Manual testing

Staging preview:
https://docs-git-ui-header-hierarchy-supabase.vercel.app

Check that each one still looks right:
-
[NamedCodeBlock](https://docs-git-ui-header-hierarchy-supabase.vercel.app/docs/guides/self-hosting/docker)
— filenames above the code blocks
-
[ProjectConfigVariables](https://docs-git-ui-header-hierarchy-supabase.vercel.app/docs/guides/auth/quickstarts/react-native)
— the "Project URL" / "Publishable key" labels (this page also has a
`NamedCodeBlock` inside the numbered steps)
-
[StepHikeCompact](https://docs-git-ui-header-hierarchy-supabase.vercel.app/docs/guides/database/beekeeper-studio)
— the step titles ("Create a new connection", etc.)
-
[IconPanel](https://docs-git-ui-header-hierarchy-supabase.vercel.app/docs/guides/resources)
— the "Auth0" / "Firebase Auth" panel titles under "Migrate to Supabase"

I also ran typecheck, lint, and the docs test suite locally — all green.
