docs: require system environment variables when deploying to Vercel (#4166)
* docs: require system environment variables when deploying to Vercel Workflow recognizes a Vercel deployment by VERCEL_DEPLOYMENT_ID, which Vercel only exposes when "Enable access to System Environment Variables" is selected in the project's Environment Variables settings. A project that cleared that checkbox looks like a non-Vercel environment to the SDK: the build emits local output and the runtime selects the Local World, whose writes then fail on the deployment's read-only filesystem. Nothing announces the wrong World, because the "local world inside a Vercel deployment" warning keys off the same missing variable. Document the setting as a deployment prerequisite on both deploying pages and both Vercel World pages, add a diagnosis section covering the symptoms and why WORKFLOW_TARGET_WORLD=vercel is not a workaround, and note it alongside World selection in the v5 configuration reference.
