kiloconnect[bot] 4b22c5e806 feat: make Gateway API key more visible on profile page
Move the Kilo Gateway API Key section to the top of the setup-authentication
docs page and add prominent callouts across gateway documentation pages.

Changes:
- Move 'Kilo Gateway API Key' section above 'Quick Start' in setup-authentication.md
- Add a prominent callout box with direct link to app.kilo.ai/profile
- Update instructions to say 'Find the API Key section' instead of 'Scroll to the bottom'
- Add callout in gateway/quickstart.md pointing users to their profile page
- Improve API key location description in gateway/authentication.md
- Reorganize Quick Start section to clarify it's for VS Code extension users
