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.

> This feature was introduced in Unleash 3.11.0
Do you want to filter your features to avoid having to see all features belonging to other teams than your own? Do you want to write a plugin that only gets notified about changes to features that your plugin knows how to handle?
### Say hello to Typed tags {#say-hello-to-typed-tags}
Unleash supports tagging features with an arbitrary number of tags. This eases filtering the list of tags to only those features that are tagged with the tag you're interested in.
#### How does it work? {#how-does-it-work}
Unleash will allow users to tag any feature with any number of tags. When viewing a feature, the UI will/may display all tags connected to that feature.
When adding a new tag, a dropdown will show you which type of tag you're about to add. Our first type; `simple` are meant to be used for filtering features. Show only features that have a tag of `MyTeam`.
#### Tag types {#tag-types}
Types can be anything, and their purpose is to add some semantics to the tag itself.
Some tag types will be defined by plugins (e.g. the slack plugin can define the Slack-type, to make it easy to specify which Slack channels to post updates for a specific feature toggle to).
Other tags can be defined by the user to give semantic logic to the management of the UI. It could be that you want to use tag functionality to specify which products a feature toggle belongs to, or to which teams.
