Split WiFi bufferbloat article into two entries - #25

Conversation
The bufferbloat troubleshooting entry mixed two unrelated bugs found in the same investigation: WiFi bufferbloat (fixed with fq_codel) and a separate WiFi card/driver instability where PCIe power management confuses the mt7925e firmware into forcing reassociation. Split them into two entries so each can be updated independently, and added a bufferbloat.net reference link found while investigating.
A bufferbloat test came back Grade C (~170ms), suggesting queuing on the router's WAN uplink or the ISP's own network, separate from the local WiFi qdisc fix. Adds directions for isolating and investigating that (SQM/AQM on the router) as an open, unconfirmed follow-up rather than a settled fix.
Replaces Poetry with uv for dependency management across the project (pyproject.toml, lockfile, docs, CI). The deploy workflow's manual actions/cache step trusted a cache hit blindly and was what broke PR #25's build: a stale cached venv came back "broken," Poetry silently recreated it empty, and mkdocs was missing. Switching to astral-sh/setup-uv's built-in caching plus `uv sync` removes that manual cache logic entirely and self-heals instead of trusting a possibly-corrupt cache.

Summary
wifi-bufferbloat-lan-streaming-drops.mdmixed two unrelated bugs from the same investigation: WiFi bufferbloat (fixed withfq_codel) and a separate WiFi card/driver instability (PCIe power management confusing themt7925efirmware). Perdocs/contributing.md's "one file per topic" rule, split them into two troubleshooting entries so each can be updated independently.!!! notepointing to the new companion article, and cross-linked both via Related Articles.wifi-card-pcie-power-reassociation-drops.md, carrying the PCIe/reassociation bug's full Environment/Problem/Root Cause/Fix/Prevention, flagged with a note that the fix isn't fully proven yet and the article may be updated as more is learned.docs/troubleshooting/index.mdto link both entries.Test plan
