Slavi Pantaleev 527759dd02 Document Matrix authentication modes
Add a dedicated configuration/authentication doc covering password and access-token setup,
including environment-variable mappings and token-generation example.

Link to it from configuration docs and align the sample config wording with Matrix Authentication Service/OIDC terminology.

## 🔐 Authentication
baibot supports 2 authentication modes for the Matrix account (`user.*` keys in config).
Set **exactly one** mode. If both are set (or neither is set), startup validation fails.
### Password authentication
- Config key: `user.password`
- Environment variable: `BAIBOT_USER_PASSWORD`
### Access token authentication
- Config keys: `user.access_token` + `user.device_id`
- Environment variables: `BAIBOT_USER_ACCESS_TOKEN` + `BAIBOT_USER_DEVICE_ID`
Access-token authentication is useful for OIDC-enabled homeservers (e.g. those using [Matrix Authentication Service](https://github.com/element-hq/matrix-authentication-service)).
Example token-generation command:
```sh
mas-cli manage issue-compatibility-token <username> [device_id]
```
