What does this implement/fix?

Notes that CAST players need Music Assistant 2.10.7 or newer, since firmware built on ESPHome 2026.10 uses a Sendspin connection older Music Assistant can't handle. Adds a note to CAST-1 Getting Started, a CAST-1 FAQ entry, and a line in the CAST PRO-1 introduction.

Present the Music Assistant requirement as a prerequisite note.

Music Assistant 2.10.7 or newer is required for CAST PRO-1. The style guide requires prerequisites to use a note admonition. Move this requirement below the H1 instead of embedding it in the feature paragraph.

As per coding guidelines, prerequisites must use a note admonition.
