Documents the full public API from the headers in src/: construction and pin arguments for all driver classes, begin/setRPM/setMicrostep/setSpeedProfile, blocking (move/rotate) vs non-blocking (startMove/nextAction/startBrake/stop) flows with usage examples, state query methods, enable/disable semantics (nSLEEP vs nENABLE polarity), units (microsteps, degrees, RPM, full steps/s^2 — including the AVR int-overflow pitfall in step expressions), the CONSTANT_SPEED vs LINEAR_SPEED profiles, DRV8880 torque control, and the MultiDriver/SyncDriver group APIs. Linked from README; AGENTS.md repository structure updated.

Add TB6600 to the class table and constructor list (with DIP-switch microstepping and active-LOW ENA notes) and document the step pulse timing API (setMinStepPulse, getMinStepPulseHigh/Low) added in #140.

Summary
Adds
docs/API.md, a reference manual for the library's public API, addressing the long-standing documentation request in #82. Written directly from the headers insrc/(not from memory), covering:intoverflow pitfall in step-count expressionsBasicStepperDriver,A4988,DRV8825,DRV8834,DRV8880,TMC2100begin/setRPM/setMicrostep/setSpeedProfilewithCONSTANT_SPEEDvsLINEAR_SPEEDsemantics (trapezoidal/triangular profiles, precalculated ramps)move/rotate) and non-blocking (startMove/startRotate/nextAction/startBrake/stop) flows with usage examples, including how to usenextAction()'s return value as a time budgetgetCurrentState,getStepsRemaining,getTimeForMove— with the note that the latter sets up move parameters in LINEAR_SPEED mode)enable/disable/setEnableActiveStateand the ~SLEEP (active HIGH) vs ~ENABLE (active LOW) polarity conventionDRV8880::setCurrent()torque controlMultiDrivervsSyncDrivergroup APIs with a two-axis exampleAlso links the manual from README (new Documentation section) and adds
docs/to the AGENTS.md repository-structure diagram.Docs-only change, no code affected. Based on the current master API; if #140 (setMinStepPulse) and #141 (TB6600) merge, I can follow up with the corresponding additions.
Fixes #82.
