docs: add theme configuration documentation and update Fern CLI
Summary
Added documentation for the
themeconfiguration property in docs.yml, which controls the visual styling of documentation elements. This PR documents two theme properties that are currently implemented:theme.page-actions: Controls page action button styling (default vs toolbar)theme.footer-nav: Controls footer navigation styling (default vs minimal)The PR also updates the Fern CLI version to 0.113.1 and applies the toolbar theme to the Fern docs site itself.
Note: Other theme properties (sidebar, body, tabs) exist in the schema but were intentionally excluded from documentation as they are not properly implemented yet.
