[LAZY CONSENSUS] Gen AI Guidelines in docs and PR

As discussed in
https://lists.apache.org/thread/s5pchk082wpqro8vk400c7wv5jhsbvwg this is an
official call for lazy consensus on the AI guidelines and PR template
checkbox we just merged.

https://github.com/apache/airflow/blob/main/contributing-docs/05_pull_requests.rst#gen-ai-assisted-contributions

We also have  PR checkbox to check in the template:

## Was generative AI tooling used to co-author this PR?

<!--
If generative AI tooling has been used in the process of authoring this PR,
please
change below checkbox to `[X]` followed by the name of the tool, uncomment
the "Generated-by".
-->

- [ ] Yes (please specify the tool below)

<!--
Generated-by: [Tool Name] following [the guidelines](
https://github.com/apache/airflow/blob/main/contributing-docs/05_pull_requests.rst#gen-ai-assisted-contributions
)
-->

It seems we already have a lazy consensus on this in general - so this
seems mostly a formality.

But if any of the committers have a very strong objection to the concept of
having the guidelines and PR checkbox - feel free to raise it and we will
reconsider it.

The consensus is more on the concept, not on detailed text -  I merged it
so that we all can start experiencing the PR template and see if the
guidelines are "followable".  So if you would like to propose any changes
to the template or guidelines, I guess from now on just a regular PR will
be enough, and the need to just tweak something will not break the general
consensus.

The consensus will be reached on Tue, 13th of Jan 2026 at 4pm CET.
