Initial commit for respond-to-chat

[pdwarf]

• Added basic scaffolding for the docs page
• Sorted this to be within the Chat Trigger docs as the node itself is also part of the Chat Trigger code directory and requires a Chat Trigger to work, see PR: https://github.com/n8n-io/n8n/pull/12546/files#diff-d9b8bee18b0196641e173658f644a5069cb9e01a1ebb315151bd5a85bf13add1

Hey @pdwarf, thanks for the PR! It looks pretty good so far. I've left a few comments that might help. Additionally:

• I spoke with David R. briefly about whether we should nest this within the Chat Trigger node or not. He had a really good point by asking how we do things with the Form node and Form Trigger node since those have the same type of relationship you describe here (The Form node depends on the Form Trigger node being present). Since we don't nest those, we should probably follow that pattern here and break this out into its own node page. I can do that once we're happy with the rest of the content if you agree that sounds reasonable.
• I'll also need to add the page to the nav.yml file, so that it shows up in the site navigation. This is easy to do as I make the other changes, but for future reference, that's where you'd go to add the page to the site nav.
• Do we have a current test instance I can look at? The one in the initial ticket has since been deleted. Probably best to share in Linear or Slack.

Let me know if you have any other questions about the suggestions or comments. Thanks again!

Yeah that makes sense, happy to follow this convention for splitting it out and not nesting it! I've accepted all the suggestions and will add a bit more information as we've had to tweak the "Response Mode" of the Chat Trigger in lieu of the Respond to Chat node.
