Blut-agentandKalleby Santos 15214d02de fix(docs): use proper apikey instead of Authorization header for Functions examples (#46013)
## Problem

The Supabase Functions documentation shows examples that send a
publishable key in the `Authorization: Bearer` header. This causes
`UNAUTHORIZED_INVALID_JWT_FORMAT` errors because publishable keys are
not JWTs.

Per the [Understanding authorization
headers](/docs/guides/functions/auth#understanding-authorization-headers)
guide:
> A common mistake is sending a publishable or secret key as a bearer
token: `Authorization: Bearer sb_pub.....`. The new API keys are not
JWTs. The platform check can't validate them, and your handler can't
verify them as JWTs either. Instead, put API keys in the `apikey`
header.

## Fix

Updated three documentation files to use the `apikey` header instead of
`Authorization: Bearer` when calling Edge Functions with a publishable
key:

- **quickstart-dashboard.mdx**: Changed fetch example from
`Authorization: 'Bearer YOUR_PUBLISHABLE_KEY'` to `apikey:
'<SUPABASE_PUBLISHABLE_KEY>'`
- **recursive-functions.mdx**: Changed fetch example from
`Authorization: \`Bearer ${SUPABASE_DEFAULT_PUBLISHABLE_KEY}\`` to
`apikey: SUPABASE_DEFAULT_PUBLISHABLE_KEY`
- **schedule-functions.mdx**: Changed SQL cron example from
`'Authorization', 'Bearer ' || ...` to `'apikey', ...`
