john-okeefe b44e4e4709 docs: remove Phase X placeholders from API documentation
Clean up API documentation files by removing Phase X references:

Remove 'API Explorer will be inserted here in Phase X' placeholders from:
- 70+ API endpoint documentation files
- Authentication endpoints (login, logout, register, refresh)
- User endpoints (profile, settings, password)
- Device endpoints (registration, sync, shelves)
- Library endpoints (CRUD, folders, visibility)
- Media endpoints (items, progress, highlights, notes)
- Admin endpoints (users, analytics)
- Sync endpoints (Kobo, KOReader)
- OPDS endpoints
- Scanner endpoints
- Queue endpoints

These placeholders were from planning documents and have no meaning
to API consumers. The documentation is now clean and ready for use.

# Search Media Items
Search for media items by title, author, series, tags, or contributors.
**Note:** Search is case-insensitive and punctuation-agnostic. The search query is matched against normalized tags_search and contributors_search fields, allowing users to find matches regardless of casing or punctuation.
Examples:
- Search "acme corp" finds items with "ACME CORP." or "Acme Corp"
- Search "oreilly" finds items with "O'Reilly Media" or "OReilly Media"
- Search "science fiction" finds items with "Science-Fiction" or "science-fiction"
**Endpoint**: `GET /api/media-items/search`
**Auth**: Required
