Tautvydas Derzinskas 233c794065 docs: add a setup page per provider and a comparison of all ten

Each provider gets its own page under docs/providers/ with a short description,
what it needs (sign-in, Thingport Grab, FlareSolverr) and its setup steps, with
the provider's icon as an accent. PROVIDER_SETUP.md becomes the overview, with a
dependency and feature table. MakerWorld, Printables and Thingiverse come first
everywhere.

MyMiniFactory

A curated marketplace of free and paid 3D printable files, best known for tabletop miniatures. Thingport reads it with an API key an admin sets once; each user's own sign-in adds the models they bought.

At a glance
Sign-in	One API key for everyone, set by an admin; your own MyMiniFactory session for paid models
Thingport Grab	Optional -- connects your session for you
FlareSolverr	Recommended -- without it, imports fail whenever Cloudflare challenges the server
Imports	Free and bought models, public collections, synced collections

What comes in

With the API key alone, free models, their details, collections and authors, for everyone.
With your own session, the paid models you bought, and free ones whose files only download when signed in, from your MyMiniFactory library. Where MyMiniFactory has unpacked a model's archives, Thingport fetches just the model files from them, so RAR archives and very large zips are no problem.
A paid model you haven't bought can't be imported, and a collection's paid models are left out of its sync.

Setup: the API key

Instance-wide and admin-configured (Administration → Providers → MyMiniFactory API key).

Sign in to MyMiniFactory, then go to myminifactory.com/settings/developer.
Create an application. Its name doesn't matter.
Copy the application's API key -- not its client ID or client secret, which are for signing users in.
Save it under Administration → Providers → MyMiniFactory API key. Thingport checks it with MyMiniFactory first.

Setup: your account

Per-user (Configuration → Providers → MyMiniFactory), only for paid and sign-in-only models.

Easiest: Thingport Grab

With Thingport Grab allowed on MyMiniFactory, opening a myminifactory.com page while you're signed in connects your account. MyMiniFactory renews that session from time to time; the next page you open sends the new one.

Manual: copy it from your browser

Sign in at myminifactory.com.
Open DevTools (F12, or Cmd+Option+I on macOS).
Chrome/Edge: Application tab > Cookies > https://www.myminifactory.com. Firefox: Storage tab > Cookies.
Copy the value of the cookie named PHPSESSID. (The whole Cookie request header works too.)
Right-click MyMiniFactory in Configuration → Providers, choose Connect and paste it.

It's your own login session -- don't share it. It expires once you sign out of MyMiniFactory, or after a while; Thingport then says so, and opening MyMiniFactory with Grab connects it again.

MyMiniFactory sits behind Cloudflare. Set up FlareSolverr so imports get through when it challenges the server.
