refactor: replace examples with focused rustdoc examples

Remove standalone examples in favor of focused, contextual rustdoc
examples that are easier to maintain and provide better documentation.
This makes the codebase more maintainable while improving the developer
experience with examples that are tested alongside the code they
document.
