Refactor: Remove unused code from old controller/view implementation

- Remove PublicHelpArticleController and related views
- Remove HelpLayout component and public route views
- Remove unused test files (PublicHelpArticleTest, PublicTestCase)
- Remove empty Http directories
- Update ViewHelpArticle to use guest panel resource URL
- Remove CSS config option (now handled by Filament panel themes)
- Update config to use frontend_slug and guest_slug instead of route_prefix

+

+
+## Help Article Locations
+
+Help articles are available in three different locations depending on your setup:
+
+1. **Admin Panel** (`/admin/help-articles`): For editing and managing help articles
+2. **App Panel** (configurable, default `/help`): For authenticated users to view public help articles
+3. **Guest Panel** (configurable, default uses panel path): For public/guest users to view public help articles
+
+The frontend and guest panel URLs can be customized using the plugin's `->slug()` method or via configuration (see plugin documentation above).
+
