This adds a new devdoc page on best practices for writing devdocs. A primary motivation is to feed this to AI agents when you ask them to write new devdocs for you, so that you don't have to teach them how to do that from scratch. If we don't think this is valuable enough in the main devdocs, we could consider an aidevdocs folder.

Although maybe this page doesn't go here, since the heading of the devdocs is "Documentation of Julia's internals". This is more of a "Contributor's guide" page.

In fact, we already have a section on doctests in CONTRIBUTING.md that I forgot about: https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#doctests
