Adds https://docs.aztec.network/errors/6 to the compile-time error shown when developers try to directly call contract functions. The link redirects to the calling_contracts documentation page. Also adds the error to the debugging troubleshooting table. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Should we take the opportunity to make this error consistent with the other ones?

You had:
- "Direct invocation of private functions is not supported..."
- "Direct invocation of public functions is not supported..."
- "Direct invocation of public internal functions is not supported..."
- "Calling utility functions directly from within the contract is not supported."
I thought we could have made it consistent

This was an old TODO of mine I had opened at a time when we didn't have the stable error links set up so made sense to tackle it now that we have them.
