Finalize backfill package documentation

[sij411]

Summary

This PR wraps up the @fedify/backfill implementation completed across #779, #801, and #807, and closes #275.

It completes the release-facing documentation, documents all public strategies and traversal controls, adds the package to the contributor package list and changelog, and replaces the provisional @since 2.x.0 tags with the target release version, 2.3.0.

It also removes the unused "context" value from BackfillOrigin; the implementation only emits "collection", "in-reply-to", and "replies".

Closes #275

The existing packages/backfill/README.md document is good, but since users mostly look at the docs website, it would be great if the docs for the @fedify/backfill package was written in the docs/manual/backfill.md file.
