New documentation page explaining NiceGUI's technology stack: Vue.js (UI framework), Quasar (component library), FastAPI (backend), Socket.IO with outbox (real-time communication), and Tailwind CSS / UnoCSS / Quasar CSS (styling). Each section includes side-by-side layout with mermaid diagrams, mapping tables, or comparison bars. Update homepage Features links to point to the new foundations sections instead of external sites.

Motivation
The homepage Features section currently links out to external websites for core technologies (vuejs.org, quasar.dev, fastapi.tiangolo.com, tailwindcss.com). This is an SEO problem: outbound links on high-traffic pages bleed PageRank to third-party domains instead of keeping visitors within the NiceGUI documentation. Search engines also favor sites with strong internal linking over those that immediately send users elsewhere.
Additionally, NiceGUI's technology stack explanations are currently scattered across markdown files that most users never see:
README.mdlines 95–106, 143–154 — "Why?" section and "Architecture" sectionCONTRIBUTING.mdlines 21–28 — "Tech Stack" bullet listDEPENDENCIES.md— version list of web dependenciesNone of this information is on the documentation website itself. This PR creates a proper, user-facing documentation page that explains the technology choices and how they fit together.
