chore: remove obsolete workflows and align stale messaging

[kami619]

Summary

• Remove obsolete workflows: agentready-dev-issue-pr.yml, agentready-dev.yml, pr-review.yml, and docs.yml.
• Update stale issue/PR messages in stale-issues.yml to match configured thresholds: 60 days stale, 30 days to close (90 days total).

Related issues

• Closes Remove or rethink the link checker workflow #397

Test plan

• Verify removed workflow files are no longer present under .github/workflows/.
• Verify stale workflow text now references 60/30/90-day thresholds.
• Run diagnostics for the edited workflow file.

Walkthrough

This PR removes four GitHub Actions workflows (agentready-dev-issue-pr.yml, agentready-dev.yml, pr-review.yml, and docs.yml) and updates stale issue/PR timeline thresholds. The removed workflows include AI-assisted issue-to-PR automation, PR review actions, and documentation link checking. The stale-issues workflow now waits 60 days before marking issues/PRs stale and 30 days more before closure.

All changes look good to me. The one complaint from CodeRabbit seems to be wrong (60 is 30 days from 90). I will merge this now.
