docs: document CLI activate/return-license commands, fix stale license-return info

[frostebite]

Summary

• The public game-ci CLI (game-ci/cli) registers activate [projectPath] and return-license [projectPath] as top-level commands, but neither was documented under docs/cli — only a same-named, differently-scoped command in the standalone Orchestrator CLI section existed, and it has no return-license equivalent at all. Added a proper "Activate & Return License" section to docs/cli/build with usage, the shared credential flags, and how the CLI picks the ULF-vs-entitlement return mechanism automatically.
• docs/github/returning-a-license.mdx said "Unity only allows returning professional licenses" — no longer true since Unity moved Personal onto per-organization seats; a leaked Personal seat needs returning too, same as a Professional one. Rewrote the page to reflect that the current actions already return automatically, pointed manual recovery at game-ci return-license, and kept the legacy standalone unity-return-license Action documented for workflows still using it.
• Added game-ci activate / game-ci return-license to the CLI's "Command Names At A Glance" table in docs/cli/index.mdx, where every other public CLI command is already listed.

Prompted by a support question that asked specifically how to run game-ci return-license and why it was trying to return a Personal (ULF) license at all — both turned out to be real documentation gaps, not user error.

Test plan

• yarn build (docusaurus build) — succeeds, no broken-link errors (confirms the new /docs/cli/build#activate--return-license cross-link resolves).
• Verified command syntax/flags against game-ci/cli's own source (src/cli-commands.ts, src/command/return-license/return-license-command.ts, src/command-options/unity-options.ts) rather than guessing.
• Note: yarn format:check flags these files locally, but it flags ~390 files repo-wide on a clean main checkout too (Windows CRLF checkout vs. the formatter's LF normalization) — confirmed pre-existing, not introduced by this change.

In `@docs/03-github/05-returning-a-license.mdx`:
- Around line 3-11: Update the documentation’s automatic-return list to remove
unity-activate, while keeping unity-builder and unity-test-runner listed as
automatically returning licenses. State that workflows using unity-activate
require a separate game-ci/unity-return-license@v2 step.
- Around line 3-11: Update the license-return documentation to limit manual
return guidance to Professional/Plus licenses. In the discussion around
unity-builder, unity-test-runner, and unity-activate, remove the claim that
Personal licenses are returnable and delete the related Personal-seat recovery
guidance, while preserving the existing Professional/Plus behavior.
