Remove GA4 Data API data source#109

Conversation
The GA4 Data API cannot return a stable userId suitable for collaborative-filtering training, so the ga4 source is removed. GA4 via the BigQuery export (examples/ga4-bigquery, type: bigquery) is unaffected.
Drops docs/data-sources/ga4.md, examples/ga4-data-api/, the --extra ga4 CI step, and GA4 mentions in README/CLAUDE.md/recipe-reference. Keeps examples/ga4-bigquery (type: bigquery) and the BigQuery-export GA4 query-pattern docs.

Reflects codelibs/recotem#109, which removed the `source.type: ga4` data source. Drops the GA4 source page, recipe `source.type: ga4` section, `recotem[ga4]` install extra, `RECOTEM_GA4_MAX_PAGES` env var, and the GA4 sidebar entry, in both English and Japanese v2 docs. BigQuery-based GA4 usage (`events_*` export via `type: bigquery`) is preserved. Also repoints a pre-existing dead link in environment-variables.md (`./data-sources/` -> `./recipe-reference#source`) so the build passes.

Summary
Removes the GA4 Data API data source (
source.type: ga4). The GA4 Data API cannot return a stable user identifier (userId) suitable for collaborative-filtering training, so the source has no viable use.What was removed
