Rainer Gerhards b8d8faa68c docs: add agent guides and module metadata scaffolding
Improve AI-facing documentation to speed up contributor onboarding after
the gpt5-codex agent update. The guides clarify bootstrap, testing, and
where to find module ownership so agents can work predictably and avoid
expensive CI-only paths.

Impact: documentation-only; no runtime changes. Clarifies when to use
direct test scripts vs. the autotools harness.

This introduces repository-wide AGENTS guides (root, plugins/, contrib/,
tools/, doc/) plus module-focused guides for omelasticsearch, imkafka,
omkafka, and omruleset. It adds metadata templates for core and contrib
modules, initial MODULE_METADATA.yaml files for the Kafka and ES modules,
and a tools/MODULE_METADATA.json for built-ins. The top-level guide now
includes quick links, “priming a fresh AI session,” and explicit
autotools bootstrap instructions (run ./autogen.sh when autotools inputs
change). Testing guidance asks agents to prefer invoking ./tests/*.sh
directly, reserving `make check` for CI reproductions. The doc subtree
gains its own AGENTS.md and an AI doc-builder base prompt to keep edits
consistent. doc/ai/module_map.yaml was annotated to reference per-module
metadata.

Before: scattered or missing agent guidance; unclear when to bootstrap
autotools or run the full harness. After: structured, discoverable docs,
templates, and metadata that align contributor workflow across modules.
