Hayden 845b2c2c73 fix(docs): restore classic Material look under Zensical's modern theme
Zensical ships a redesigned "modern" theme: a flat header that uses the page
background color and the Inter typeface, rather than Material's colored app-bar
and Roboto, and it keeps links / the nav active-item pill / the announce banner
on its default indigo accent. The mealie palette and custom.css load fine, but
the modern theme no longer wires --md-primary-fg-color to the header, and the
indigo accent clashes with the brand orange.

- mkdocs.yml: set theme.font to Roboto / Roboto Mono (Zensical honors theme.font)
- custom.css:
  - restore the orange app-bar (.md-header/.md-tabs) from --md-primary-fg-color
  - brand the accent (links, nav active pill, announce banner) by overriding
    --md-typeset-a-color and --md-accent-fg-color[--transparent]; the
    [scheme][primary] selector matches the theme's own (0,2,0) rules so it wins
    in both light (mealie) and dark (slate) modes
  - make the announce banner text adaptive so it is readable in light mode
    (was hardcoded light-gray, invisible on the modern theme's light banner)
- ai-providers.md: fix a broken self-referential link surfaced by Zensical's
  build check ("backend configuration" now points to backend-config.md)

Verified with headless-Chrome screenshots in both light and dark mode:
`zensical build` is clean ("No issues found"); Roboto fonts, orange header/tabs,
orange links, and a readable announce banner in both schemes.
