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.

Thangs

A 3D model search engine by Physna that finds models by their shape as well as their name, with a marketplace and designer memberships. Its details, anyone's likes and public collections need nothing; its files go only to a signed-in user.

At a glance
Sign-in	Your own Thangs sign-in, per user; Thingport renews it for about a year
Thingport Grab	Recommended -- connects your account in one visit
FlareSolverr	Optional -- used for public reads if Cloudflare challenges the server
Imports	Free and owned models, your likes and collections, synced

What comes in

A model comes in as one file, or as the zip of all its parts that Thangs builds, each part its own file in Thingport.
Your own likes and collections, private ones included.
Daily downloads. Free Thangs accounts download a limited number of models a day. Once yours are used up, a collection or likes import stops and says so, and a synced collection leaves the rest for its next check.
Paid models download once your account owns them: bought on their own or in a bundle, or included in a membership you're in. Paid models you don't own are left out of collection imports and syncs.
Print-only models, which a designer sells only as a print, have no files and can't be imported.

Setup

Per-user (Configuration → Providers → Thangs). The sign-in is two cookies: accessToken, which lasts a week, and refreshToken, which renews it and lasts about a year. Thingport renews the access token itself, so it stays connected until you sign out of Thangs or the refresh token runs out.

Easiest: Thingport Grab

With Thingport Grab allowed on Thangs, opening thangs.com while you're signed in connects your account. If Thangs turns the sign-in down, Thingport says so, and your next visit connects it again.

Manual: copy it from your browser

Sign in at thangs.com.
Open DevTools (F12, or Cmd+Option+I on macOS) and reload the page.
On the Network tab, pick any request to thangs.com/api and copy its Cookie request header, which holds both tokens. The refreshToken cookie alone works too, as does the Authorization header, though that one lasts only a week.
Right-click Thangs in Configuration → Providers, choose Connect and paste it.
