Eric Hare ec3aea7ff8 fix(extensions): discover editable bundles; clean up ticket refs and reload UX (#13219)
* fix(extensions): discover editable installs via langflow.extensions entry-point

`lfx extension list` was silently dropping bundles installed via `uv pip
install -e` / `pip install -e`. Editable installs surface only
`dist-info/` entries in `dist.files`, so the wheel-shaped scan in
`_distribution_manifest_path` finds no `extension.json`. The bundle
pyproject.toml comment already promised an entry-point fallback for this
case, but it was never implemented in discovery.py.

Add `_distribution_manifest_path_via_entry_points` that resolves the
package via `importlib.util.find_spec` (no module body execution) and
locates the manifest under the resulting package directory. The fallback
runs only when `dist.files` produces no manifest, so wheel installs are
unaffected.

Tests:
- editable distribution with dist-info-only files is discovered
- entry-point pointing at an unimportable module yields no record
- wheel-install path never consults find_spec (guards against
  re-importing every bundle package on startup)

* chore(extensions): drop internal ticket refs; relax reload --bundle and --all

Two related changes:

1. Strip internal `LE-NNNN` ticket references from the extension source,
   bundles, tests, and public docs. The references were not actionable
   outside the project and surfaced in user-visible CLI messages and the
   author guide.

2. Relax `lfx extension reload` CLI ergonomics now that local discovery
   (`discover_all_extensions`) gives us the install map without needing
   an HTTP list endpoint:

   - `lfx extension reload <ext_id>`: `--bundle` is now optional; when
     omitted, the bundle name is resolved from local discovery. Explicit
     `--bundle` still wins for cases where the local install isn't
     visible to the running server.
   - `lfx extension reload --all`: iterates over every locally-discovered
     bundle, POSTs reload to each, renders per-bundle status, and exits 1
     if any reload fails. Previously hard-errored as "not yet wired".
   - `--all` is mutually exclusive with a positional id / `--bundle`
     (exit 2 with a clear message).
   - Missing both `extension_id` and `--all` exits 2 pointing at both.

Updated `test_reload_requires_explicit_bundle` (which enforced the old
"--bundle is mandatory" behavior) to cover the new resolution paths.

* docs(bundle-api): changelog entries for editable-install discovery + reload CLI

Satisfies the BUNDLE_API surface-change gate for the editable-install
discovery fallback (entry-point lookup in discovery.py) and the relaxed
`lfx extension reload` CLI (`--bundle` optional, `--all` implemented).

No additional behavior change in this commit -- it only documents the
two changes already shipped in this branch.

* [autofix.ci] apply automated fixes
