docs(backend): Use root-relative link for passwordHasher contact support reference

[manovotny]

Description

The passwordHasher param JSDoc in packages/backend/src/api/endpoints/UserApi.ts used an absolute https://clerk.com/contact/support link. The docs renderer (MDXLink.tsx) treats absolute http(s):// links as external — opening a new tab with an external-link icon — whereas root-relative links are internal same-tab.

The Typedoc replace-text plugin only relativizes https://clerk.com/docs links, so this was the one non-/docs clerk.com link in the backend source and it leaked through as external. Switching it to /contact/support matches the convention already used for the /docs/... links authored directly in this same file.

UserPasswordHashingParams is shared by both CreateUserParams and UpdateUserParams, so this single change corrects all three generated files in clerk/clerk (create-user-params.mdx, user-api/methods/create-user.mdx, user-api/methods/update-user.mdx) on the next Typedoc sync.

This is the upstream counterpart to the support-link normalization done in clerk/clerk #3101, and a continuation of #9340.

Testing

Regenerated the backend Typedoc locally and confirmed the generated output now emits [contact support](/contact/support) with no remaining absolute clerk.com/contact link.
