style: standardize on "service" for Beamable product capabilities
Replace "feature" with "service" as the noun for Beamable product capabilities across all beamable-services/ pages. Rationale: the nav section is already "Beamable Services"; "service" aligns with the engineering-oriented audience and the existing structural vocabulary. Preserved: "Feature Support" table headers, "feature prefab/Prefab" (Unity asset references), occurrences in code blocks, and any use of "feature" referring to non-Beamable concepts. Scope: docs/unity/user-reference/beamable-services/ only. Whatsnew/, portal/, and CLI guide pages are intentionally excluded. 71 substitutions across 29 files.
