docs: document Pi extension dialogs and extensionDialogsTimeoutMs

Add the close-out documentation for extension dialog support:

- docs/config.md (+ synchronized config.html): extensionDialogsTimeoutMs
  in the config matrix, reload/restart guidance, the global config
  example, and a new Extension dialogs key-detail section covering the
  unattended-dialog safety valve (default 5 min, 0 = forever, effective
  deadline is the sooner of the extension's own timeout and this knob).
- docs/plugins.md (+ synchronized plugins.html): new Pi extension
  dialogs in PI WEB behavior note for extension authors — confirm/select/
  input render inline in the transcript and resolve with the real answer,
  answers use a dedicated daemon channel (never the prompt queue, so
  tool_call hooks park safely), session_start dialogs are reachable
  during create and open, reload rehydration, first-answer-wins across
  tabs, abort/runtime-replacement settlement, and the reload-mid-startup
  browser-local caveat.
- Add the extension-dialogs changeset (patch) for the release notes.

Support Pi extension dialogs in the browser: `ctx.ui.confirm()`, `ctx.ui.select()`, and `ctx.ui.input()` now render as cards inline in the session transcript and resolve with the user's actual answer — including dialogs opened from `session_start` hooks while the session is still starting and from in-flight `tool_call` hooks, which previously resolved `false` immediately despite `hasUI === true`. Answers travel over a dedicated session-daemon channel rather than the prompt queue, so a dialog parked inside a `tool_call` hook cannot deadlock the run. Open dialogs survive browser reloads, the first answer wins across browser tabs, and unanswered dialogs settle safely on run abort, runtime replacement, or timeout. Adds the `extensionDialogsTimeoutMs` config key (default 5 minutes, `0` waits forever) as the unattended-dialog safety valve; dialog support is always on. Other `ExtensionUIContext` surfaces (widgets, status, editor, `custom`) remain unimplemented.
