docs(public-api): document thumbnailTimestamp on the media object

[giladresisi]

⚠️ DO NOT MERGE until gitroomhq/postiz-app#1989 is deployed

Merging earlier would advertise a field that regular TikTok still ignores in production.

---

Documents the thumbnailTimestamp field on the public API media object (Create Post):

• New "Video cover frame" section in public-api/posts/create.mdx with a JSON example.
• Added thumbnailTimestamp to the Media schema in openapi.json so it shows in the generated Body schema.
• Notes the supported providers (Instagram, Instagram Standalone, TikTok Business, TikTok Direct Post only) and the observed TikTok caveat: in our testing the cover was applied only to public posts (privacy_level: PUBLIC_TO_EVERYONE).

Companion to gitroomhq/postiz-app#1989, which restores the field for regular TikTok.

QA

1. Run mint dev and open Public API → Posts → Create Post
2. The "Video cover frame (thumbnailTimestamp)" section renders with the JSON example and providers note
3. Expand the Body schema child attributes down to posts.value.image - thumbnailTimestamp (number) appears with its description

The OpenAPI Media schema now includes an optional thumbnailTimestamp property. The Create Post documentation describes its usage, provider support, TikTok Direct Post limitations, and TikTok privacy behavior.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 307d5

This change documents thumbnailTimestamp before the companion TikTok fix is deployed, so regular TikTok users could rely on a field that production may currently ignore; merge should wait for that deployment or explicit owner acceptance.
