Claude ae531e9db6 docs: add social media account setup guide and reorganize social docs
Created comprehensive social media setup guide for Meg & Holly with:
- Step-by-step signup instructions for 8 platforms (Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, YouTube, Twitch, Reddit, BlueSky)
- Webmail access info (webmail.firefrostgaming.com)
- Credentials (socials@firefrostgaming.com / Firefrost1234!)
- Management tools setup (Buffer, Canva Pro, Linktree)
- Fire/Frost branded PDF version for easy distribution

Created new docs/social-media/ directory to consolidate all social media documentation:
- account-setup-guide.md/.pdf (NEW - March 2026)
- emissary-handbook.md (copied from planning/)
- content-calendar.md (copied from planning/)
- README.md (directory guide and organization)

Also added copies to docs/planning/ for cross-reference.

This unblocks Meg & Holly to set up all social accounts immediately.
Original planning docs remain in place for backwards compatibility.

Related to soft launch prep - social media presence is critical for March 2026 launch.
