Miranda Limonczenko 7bec687917 docs(auth): regroup the SSR client guide and cut repetition (#50287)
## Problem

`_partials/auth_methods.mdx` was included six times in this one page.
Radix unmounts inactive tab panels, so a browser reader sees it three
times on the default Next.js view, and the generated markdown that
agents read contained all six. That was about 25% of the 33.5 KB export,
and it put the same `Summary of the methods` heading in the table of
contents three times over.

The page is also 900+ lines with no intro outline, the per-framework
recaps were `h2` inside an `h2` section, and six of the nine panels had
no step headings at all.

## Solution

- Include the auth methods partial once, under a new `Choosing an auth
method` section grouped with `Caching considerations`, and point to it
from the procedure. This follows the mixed information types rule in
`apps/docs/CONTRIBUTING.md`.
- Add an intro outline linking the section groups and saying when to
read the two reference sections.
- Demote the eight in-tab `Congratulations` headings to `h3` so they
nest under `Create a client`.
- Add a `Create the Supabase clients` heading to Astro, Remix, Nuxt,
React Router, Express, and Hono, and the recap Hono was missing.

No claims changed here, only placement.

## Manual testing

1. Open the [SSR client
guide](https://docs-git-docs-ssr-client-structure-supabase.vercel.app/docs/guides/auth/server-side/creating-a-client)
on the deploy preview. The table of contents lists `Summary of the
methods` once.
2. Select each of the five links in the intro paragraph. Each one
scrolls to its section.
3. Select each framework tab. Every panel has a step heading and a
recap.
