Problem

The Peering page was written for people arriving from the peering dialog's "How does this work?" link, so it never says how to get to the peering UI. The new "What's new" highlight (#624) links to it with "Learn more", and those readers haven't seen the UI.

What changed

A closing section on peering.astro, "Peer your first two devices.", in the navy style of the homepage's closing section. It uses the page's own numbered steps:

1. Open Peer servers: Settings → Connections → Peer servers.
2. Add the other machine as a peer: Add peer, then pick the other server.
3. Confirm how messages will travel: Peer, or Set up differently.

It assumes the other server is already connected to this window with the access it needs, so the only prerequisite it states is J5 running on both machines. It ends with a note linking to the download page and the install guide. The labels are checked against PeerServersSettings, the introduction dialog and docs/user/j5-peering.md.

The page should be live before a build with the highlight ships. It's fine to merge this PR before #628 or together with it.

UI changes

Checklist

• One concern: the description has no "also"
• Tests cover the changed behavior: not applicable, static marketing copy. Lint, astro check and the marketing build pass.
• UI changes: before/after screenshots above, and a video for motion or interaction (no motion)
• Live testing: not applicable, a static page with no app behaviour
• Upstream-owned files: none touched
• Upstream product: unchanged
• Surfaces: marketing site only, at desktop and phone widths
• Docs: none affected
