Aurora ScharffandGitHub d321ec8aa1 docs: modernize Next 16 upgrade AI guidance (#96314)
## What

Updates the Next.js 16 upgrade guide's AI-agent section to present:

- a recommended agent-assisted upgrade path
- a dedicated docs setup section using `npx @next/codemod@canary
agents-md`
- a copy prompt that points to the guide's own docs setup and codemod
sections, uses the Version 16 guide as the source of truth, asks the
agent to communicate tradeoffs, verify with the AI-agent runtime flow
such as `next-dev-loop` when available, and repeat the post-upgrade docs
check
- a non-agent path that keeps the existing upgrade codemod instructions

It also removes the stale external MCP setup from the upgrade flow,
calls out the async Request APIs codemod gap, and clarifies how to
migrate or remove removed `experimental.dynamicIO` /
`experimental.useCache` config.

## Why

The upgrade guide should make the docs setup useful for humans and
agents before migration starts, while keeping the agent prompt concise,
self-contained, and grounded in the docs as the source of truth.

## Checks

- `git diff --check`
- MDX fence balance check
- commit hook: `lint-staged` ran Prettier and ESLint on the changed MDX
