feat: Add blog post on Feast dbt integration#5915

Copilot

What this PR does / why we need it:

Adds blog post documenting Feast's dbt integration to infra/website/docs/blog/feast-dbt-integration.md, written from the perspective of dbt users who want to leverage their existing models for production AI.

Content structure:

Opens by addressing dbt users who've invested in building quality models
Problem space: dbt models getting reimplemented for AI instead of being reused directly
Solution: auto-importing existing dbt models as Feast FeatureViews via manifest.json
Practical example: ride-sharing driver features showing how to take existing dbt models to production
Step-by-step tutorial emphasizing no changes to dbt workflow required
Advanced patterns: multiple entities, Snowflake/file sources, customization options
Production integration: CI/CD automation, tagging conventions, documentation practices
Real-world impact from dbt users' perspective

Narrative approach:
The blog post speaks directly to dbt users, emphasizing that their existing models are already AI-ready and can go to production without rewriting. All examples frame steps as using "existing" models rather than creating new ones, positioning Feast as respecting dbt as the single source of truth. Uses AI terminology consistently throughout (e.g., "AI features", "AI team", "AI predictions", "AI deployment").

Visual design:
Features a custom hero image (dbt+feast.png) showcasing the dbt and Feast logos with a rocket launch visual, symbolizing the powerful integration and the journey from dbt models to production AI features.

Misc

Blog post validated with Astro build system. Uses custom hero image asset featuring dbt and Feast branding. Authored by Francisco Javier Arceo and Yassin Nouh.

@copilot please replace instances of ML/machine learning with AI.

Replaced all instances of ML/machine learning with AI throughout the blog post. Changes include:

Title: "Streamlining AI Feature Engineering with Feast and dbt"
Description: "accelerate AI development"
All references: AI team, AI features, AI predictions, AI deployment, AI expertise
Section headings updated to use AI terminology

The blog post now consistently uses AI terminology while maintaining all technical content and the dbt-user-centric perspective.
