Returns a paginated, filterable, and sortable grid of all document templates in the workspace.

**What are Document Templates?**
Document templates standardize recurring documents (like contracts, cover letters, requirement specs) and automatically fill them at runtime with project, client, and company data. Templates consist of static text plus variables that get replaced with actual values when generating a document.

**What is returned:**
- Template identification (ID, name, description)
- Template metadata (language, type, creation/update dates)
- Creator and updater information

**Filtering and search:**
- Quick search across template name and description
- Advanced filtering by language, type, and date ranges
- Sorting by any sortable field
- Server-side pagination for large template lists

**Note:** This endpoint requires the `DocumentTemplates.canManage` permission. Templates are used in projects to generate standardized documents with dynamic content.
