Refresh contributor docs, add PR template, code of conduct, and code standards

[lancepioch]

Fixes the broken \vendor\bin paths in contributing.md (now composer pint / composer phpstan), refreshes the dev environment setup (Herd-first with SQLite, frontend asset build, verified artisan commands), documents the pre-PR checks and the CLA Assistant signing flow, and links the user docs.

Adds .github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md, a Contributor Covenant 2.1 code_of_conduct.md (contact: team@pelican.dev, cross-linked from contributing.md and security.md), and code-standards.md covering Pint, Larastan (including the forbidden app()/resolve() rule), Pest suites, the API contract freeze, and codebase conventions.

The supported-versions wording in security.md is left to #2567; labels and good-first-issue seeding are handled outside this PR. The CLA is already enforced by cla.yaml, so no workflow changes.

Contributors may assume MySQL validates the full Pest suite when CI runs only integration tests there; the guidance should be corrected.

47-51: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Correct the Pest database-matrix guidance. The CI workflow runs Unit, Integration, and Filament suites on SQLite, but the MySQL job runs only Integration tests. Update the statements in contributing.md and code-standards.md so contributors do not assume that MySQL validates the full Pest suite.
