DDS-014L: Add public Getting Started hub

[klaasnicolaas]

What changed

• Add a code-owned /getting-started knowledge hub with three focused guides:
  • what FPV flying is and how to start
  • choosing compatible equipment and simulators
  • preparing for a first DDS training
• Keep the guides intentionally informational and evergreen, without live event or season data.
• Add contextual entry points from the public navigation, footer, homepage, event pages, location pages, and contact page.
• Reorganize the public navigation with an Informatie submenu for Over DDS, Projecten, and Partners.
• Add WhatsApp, Discord, and Facebook community destinations to the contact experience.
• Track validated entry-source query values for the Getting Started hub.
• Extend public page patterns for compact sections, alternating section tones, and wide content.
• Add focused feature and browser coverage for routing, SEO, navigation, content, responsive layout, community links, and entry-source behavior.

Why

New pilots need a readable path from first interest to participating at DDS without being overloaded or relying on dated event and season content. The new hub groups the essential explanation into a small number of coherent pages and reflects the actual training flow: register, pay when needed, help build the track, walk the track, fly in heats, and clean up together.

User impact

Visitors can understand FPV, compare starter equipment and simulators, find DDS community channels, and prepare for a training through consistent entry points across the public site.

Validation

• php artisan test --compact — 349 tests, 3,454 assertions passed
• composer run types:check — PHPStan passed
• composer run lint:check — Pint passed
• scoped ESLint across all changed TypeScript/React files — passed
• scoped Prettier check across all changed TypeScript/React files — passed
• npm run types:check — passed
• npm run build — passed
• git diff --check — passed

Local CI caveats

The aggregate composer run ci:check command locally scans ignored .claude/worktrees through eslint ., producing unrelated lint output outside this repository diff. The repository-wide Prettier check also reports four unchanged baseline files. All files changed by this PR pass their scoped ESLint and Prettier checks.

Pull request overview

This PR introduces a new public Getting Started knowledge hub at /getting-started, backed by a code-owned guide catalogue and new Inertia React pages, and wires it into the public site navigation and contact experience. It also extends the existing public page layout/pattern components to support the new content structure, with added feature + browser coverage.

Changes:

• Add /getting-started hub + 3 guide detail pages, with backend controller/catalogue support and SEO metadata.
• Rework public navigation to include “Starten met FPV” and group “Over DDS / Projecten / Partners” under an “Informatie” submenu; add community channel section to Contact.
• Add Feature + Browser test coverage for routing, SEO, navigation, content, and entry-source behavior.

• This link always appends a source query value via guideEntrySource, even when the page was loaded without a valid entry source. Use the conditional guideLinkOptions so direct visitors don’t get mislabeled as navigation.

                        label: 'Start bij de basis',
                        href: gettingStartedShow.url('first-fpv-flight', {
                            query: { source: guideEntrySource },
                        }),

• These guide links currently always append ?source=navigation for direct visitors because guideEntrySource defaults when entrySource is null. Use the shared conditional guideLinkOptions so the query param is only present when a validated source was provided.

                                    href={gettingStartedShow(guide.slug, {
                                        query: {
                                            source: guideEntrySource,
                                        },
                                    })}
