Add changelog entries for recent Docs product features

Summary

Added changelog entries documenting three new Fern Docs features that were shipped in early November 2025:

  1. Navbar dropdown menus (Nov 2): New type: dropdown option for navbar-links that allows grouping multiple related links under a single dropdown button
  2. API Explorer direct requests (Nov 2): New disable-explorer-proxy setting that bypasses Fern's proxy and sends API Explorer requests directly to the customer's API
  3. Custom icons for navbar and navigation (Nov 3): Support for Font Awesome icons, custom image files, and inline SVG in navbar links, dropdown items, sidebar sections, and pages

These entries were created by reviewing the git history from the last three weeks and identifying net-new Docs product functionality (excluding SDK generator and API definition features).

Review & Testing Checklist for Human

  • Verify feature descriptions are accurate: Review each changelog entry against the actual implemented features to ensure descriptions match reality
  • Test all documentation links: Click through all links in both changelog entries to verify they work and anchor to the correct sections
  • Preview the rendered changelog: Generate a preview deployment and view both changelog entries at /learn/docs/changelog to ensure proper rendering
  • Check Vale/CI results: Review CI output for any Vale style violations (Vale wasn't available locally)
  • Verify release dates: Confirm Nov 2-3, 2025 are the correct customer-facing release dates for these features (dates were based on git commit timestamps)

Notes

  • Used plant-themed examples per instructions (e.g., fa-solid fa-seedling, plant database) - you may want to adjust these to more realistic examples if needed for customer-facing docs
  • Focused only on Docs product features; excluded SDK publishing and API definition features which have separate changelogs
  • Links use published URL paths (not file paths) as specified in the notes
