docs update for seminar notebooks

[yaugenst-flex]

merge after flexcompute/tidy3d-notebooks#394

Greptile Overview

Greptile Summary

Adds documentation for a new fabrication-aware inverse design seminar with accompanying Jupyter notebooks. The PR updates Sphinx configuration to support nested notebooks and .nblink files, creates comprehensive seminar documentation, and updates the notebooks submodule.

• Added nbsphinx_link extension to docs/conf.py for better notebook linking support
• Created fabrication_invdes.rst with detailed seminar overview covering Bayesian optimization, adjoint methods, and fabrication sensitivity
• Integrated new seminar into main lectures index
• Critical issue: seminar date listed as "October 9, 2025" which appears chronologically inconsistent (should likely be 2024)

Confidence Score: 3/5

• Safe to merge after correcting the seminar date inconsistency
• Documentation changes are well-structured and follow existing patterns, but the incorrect seminar date (October 9, 2025 when current date is November 25, 2025) needs correction before merge
• Pay close attention to docs/lectures/fabrication_invdes.rst - verify the correct seminar date before merging

So if you don't want to duplicate the content you can just do an .. include:: <path/to/notebooks/docs/fabrication_aware_invdes.rst> Have you given that a shot? Technically you can consolidate the README and this into a single doc but involves correct notebook linking and checking.

Just suggesting. You probably don't have to duplicate this file at the minimum, but just proposing to give it a shot if you also want to consolidate with the README.rst.

Have you built the docs and seen it looks how you want too?
