blinkagent[bot] d2950e7615 docs: document that license validation works offline (#24013)
## What

Documents that Coder license keys are validated locally using
cryptographic signatures and do not require an outbound connection to
Coder's servers. This is a common question from customers evaluating
Coder for air-gapped environments.

## Changes

- **`docs/admin/licensing/index.md`**: Added an "Offline license
validation" section explaining that license keys are signed JWTs
validated locally with no phone-home requirement.
- **`docs/install/airgap.md`**: Added a "License validation" row to the
air-gapped comparison table, confirming no changes are needed for
offline license validation and linking to the licensing docs.

## Why

While the air-gapped docs state that "all Coder features are supported"
offline, there was no explicit mention that the license itself doesn't
require connectivity. This is a frequent question from
security-conscious and air-gapped customers.
