docs(machine): document the on-machine QR-pairing wizard

Note the wizard flow next to VITE_SPIRE_SEED + a dedicated Pairing section
(aiolabs/bitspire#52): unpaired → scan seed off camera → persist + relaunch →
normal boot pairs. Records the qr-over-jsqr choice rationale by reference.

## Pairing (on-machine QR wizard)
A machine with no seed **and** no stored binding boots `unpaired` and, under
Electron, renders an interactive wizard (`src/components/PairingWizard.vue`)
instead of a dead-end fault screen. The operator displays the `spire-seed`
QR (minted by spirekeeper's `/pair`) to the machine's camera; the wizard:
1. captures + decodes via a `PairingSource` (`src/services/pairing/`) — camera
today (decode through `qr`, paulmillr's zero-dep lib), NFC scaffolded;
2. validates the scan parses as a spire-seed (`ingestScannedSeed`), rejecting
a stray QR;
3. persists it as `VITE_SPIRE_SEED` via the `state:save-spire-seed` IPC and
relaunches (`app:relaunch`).
Pairing itself is **not** done in the wizard — relaunch lets the normal boot
path (`signer-resolver` → `connectNewSeed`) redeem the one-shot token, so
there's one tested pairing path. A revoked/expired binding lands on the same
wizard (re-pair = scan a fresh seed). Provisioning `VITE_SPIRE_SEED` up front
still works and skips the wizard.
