Adds FirstCut (https://firstcut.video) to the Tools page.

FirstCut is a browser-based narrative editor for dialogue-led footage. It transcribes the footage, builds a rough cut from a short brief, lets you restructure it by beat, clip and word, and exports FCPXML for Final Cut Pro (plus Final Cut Pro 7 XML, CMX3600 EDL and OpenTimelineIO).

A few things worth knowing up front:

  • It is a web app, not a native Mac app or a Workflow Extension, so there is no binary to code-sign or notarise.
  • Only the audio track is uploaded, for transcription. The video files stay on disk.
  • The exported FCPXML references media by filename, so relinking may be needed after import.

This PR adds one file, docs/_includes/tools/firstcut.md. Existing entries are unchanged. We make FirstCut, and we're happy to adjust the entry to fit house style.
