docs(style): Add mdbook and mdbook-course conventions (#2926)

Adds a new section to STYLE.md to document mandatory conventions for
using `mdbook` and the custom `mdbook-course` preprocessor.

This section mandates the use of YAML frontmatter, outline helpers, and
file includes for exercises, and links to the `mdbook-course` README for
more detailed technical explanations.

+### `mdbook` and `mdbook-course` Conventions
+
+The project uses `mdbook` features in specific ways, as well as a custom
+preprocessor, `mdbook-course`. The following conventions are mandatory:
+
+- **YAML Frontmatter:** Every slide file **must** include YAML frontmatter at
+  the top. At a minimum, this must include the `minutes` field to specify the
+  estimated teaching time.
+- **Outline Helpers:** Pages that serve as an index for a session or segment
+  **must** use the `{{%session outline%}}` or `{{%segment outline%}}` helpers.
+- **File Includes:** Code for exercises and their solutions **must** be included
+  from external files using the standard `mdbook` `{{#include ...}}` helper.
+
+For a complete explanation of the custom helpers and all available frontmatter
+fields, please refer to the [`mdbook-course` README](mdbook-course/README.md).
