docs(api/routines): address three review findings

**#1 — Missing `description` field in fields table**
The create body example included `description` and the schema confirms
`description: z.string().optional().nullable()`, but the reference table
omitted it. Added as an optional field.

**#2 — Concurrency policy descriptions were inaccurate**
Original docs described both `coalesce_if_active` and `skip_if_active` as
variants of "skip", which was wrong. Source-verified against
`server/src/services/routines.ts` (dispatchRoutineRun, line 568):

  const status = concurrencyPolicy === "skip_if_active" ? "skipped" : "coalesced";

Both policies write identical DB state (same linkedIssueId and
coalescedIntoRunId); the only difference is the run status value.
Descriptions now reflect this: both finalise the incoming run immediately
and link it to the active run — no new issue is created in either case.

Note: the reviewer's suggestion that `coalesce_if_active` "extends or
notifies" the active run was also not supported by the code; corrected
accordingly.

**#3 — `triggerId` undocumented in Manual Run**
`runRoutineSchema` accepts `triggerId` and the service genuinely uses it
(routines.ts:1029–1034): fetches the trigger, enforces that it belongs to
the routine (403) and is enabled (409), then passes it to dispatchRoutineRun
which records the run against the trigger and updates its `lastFiredAt`.
Added `triggerId` to the example body and documented all three behaviours.

Fires a run immediately, bypassing the schedule. Concurrency policy still applies.
`triggerId` is optional. When supplied, the server validates the trigger belongs to this routine (`403`) and is enabled (`409`), then records the run against that trigger and updates its `lastFiredAt`. Omit it for a generic manual run with no trigger attribution.
