fix: support mounting StaticFiles to APIRouter, raise error for other apps

- Override APIRouter.mount() to only allow StaticFiles; raise FastAPIError
  for any other ASGI app with a clear error message
- Add APIRouter._mount() as internal method used by include_router()
  and FastAPI.mount() to bypass the StaticFiles-only restriction
- Override FastAPI.mount() to call self.router._mount() directly
- Propagate StaticFiles mounts in include_router() via _mount()
- Rename test file to test_apirouter_mount.py

Fixes #10180
