refactor: move docs into new structure / fix links for SEO (#2416)
## What

This (admittedly massive) PR updates the "physical" documentation
structure and fixes url inconsistencies and SEO problems reported by
marketing. The main points are:

- remove or move directories : advanced, user_guide, deploy, api
- move the files contained within to the appropriate one of topics,
how-to, tutorials, or reference
- update internal doc links and product links to the content
- create client-side redirects for all the urls that have changed.

A number of the files have been renamed in small ways to better match
their url and to make them easier to find. Additionally, the top-level
api directory has been moved to /reference/api/legacy/unleash (see the
discussion points section for more on this).

## Why

When moving our doc structure to diataxis a while back, we left the
"physical' files lying where they were, because it didn't matter much to
the new structure. However, that did introduce some inconsistencies with
where you place docs and how we organize them.

There's also the discrepancies in whether urls us underscores or hyphens
(which isn't necessarily the same as their file name), which has been
annoying me for a while, but now has also been raised by marketing as an
issue in terms of SEO.

## Discussion points

The old, hand-written API docs have been moved from /api to
/reference/api/legacy/unleash. There _is_ a /reference/api/unleash
directory, but this is being populated by the OpenAPI plugin, and mixing
those could only cause trouble. However, I'm unsure about putting
/legacy/ in the title, because the API isn't legacy, the docs are. Maybe
we could use another path? Like /old-docs/ or something? I'd appreciate
some input on this.

Internal Backstage API

GET http://unleash.host.com/internal-backstage/prometheus

Unleash uses Prometheus internally to collect metrics. By default, the metrics are available at /internal-backstage/prometheus. You can disable this endpoint by setting the serverMetrics option to false.

Note that it's not recommended to expose Prometheus metrics to the public as of the Prometheus pentest-report issue PRM-01-002. Thus, if you want to keep metrics enabled, you should block all external access to /internal-backstage/* on the network layer to keep your instance secure.

Annotations

Unleash will automatically count all updates for all toggles under the metric name feature_toggle_update_total, and the toggle name is will be set as a label value. This information can be used to create annotations in grafana for everytime a feature toggle is changed.

You can use this query in grafana to achieve this:

delta(feature_toggle_update_total{toggle="Demo"}[1m]) != bool 0

Another useful counter is the feature_toggle_usage_total which will give you the numbers for how many times a feature toggle has been evaluated to active or not.
