feat: Add BasePay — USDC payments guide for Base ecosystem

[osr21]

Summary

This PR adds a practical guide for BasePay — an open-source USDC stablecoin payments dApp built natively on Base Mainnet. The guide documents four production-ready payment patterns that any developer can fork, reuse, or build on.

What this guide covers

Pattern	Contract	Value to Base ecosystem
Single USDC transfer	BasePayRouter	Instant, non-custodial payments with 0.30% fee
Batch payment	BatchPay	Payroll, airdrops, splits — 200 recipients in one tx
Escrow	Escrow	Trustless milestone payments with configurable timeout
Subscriptions	SubscriptionManager	Recurring pull-payment SaaS / memberships on-chain

Why this adds value to Base

For users

• Near-zero fees: A batch of 50 USDC payments costs under $0.05 on Base — making payroll and splits economically practical for the first time
• 2-second finality: Fast enough for real-time payment UX
• Non-custodial: Funds never pass through a centralised intermediary
• Native USDC: Circle's official USDC, no bridging risk

For developers

• Four verified, open-source contracts they can fork and reuse under MIT licence
• Production wagmi v2 + viem code patterns for every payment flow
• Security best-practices baked in: exact approvals (never uint256.max), Blockaid-aware UX, bounded subscription allowances

For the Base ecosystem

• Demonstrates that Base is viable for real-world commercial payment rails — subscriptions, escrow, and payroll — not just DeFi speculation
• Increases USDC utility and velocity on Base
• Provides reference implementations that lower the barrier for the next wave of payment dApps

Changes

• Added docs/apps/guides/usdc-payments-with-basepay.mdx — a Mintlify-compatible guide covering all four payment patterns with Solidity interfaces, wagmi v2 code samples, and security notes

The guide follows the existing format used in docs/apps/guides/ and is ready to slot into the nav config under apps > guides.
