Adds yard and makefile with development commands

- adds makefile with useful development commands
- adds `yard` gem and documentation on how to run the local server

`yard` is not perfect, but the value add is enough to include it at this time while we consider
if this is a tool we want to use (either as-is or with modified templates)

 ### Reference
 
+`make docserver` will start a `yard` server using the RDoc comments from the codebase. RDoc in this application is a work-in-progress and should improve over time. As of this writing, the index page generated contains broken links to our markdown documentation, but they "files" navigation displays them properly.
+
+> [!TIP]  
+> Prior to running `make docserver` the first time, you must install the bundled gems for this application using either `bundle install` or `make install` (they both do the same thing!).
