Add an alias for Building High Performing Teams

Phil Calder requested to merge high-performing-teams-page-alias into main

Why is this change being made?

The levelup course Building High Performing Teams: Orientation includes a link to https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/leadership/build-high-performing-teams/.

Before you jump into the course, we'd really recommend taking a look at the Building High Performing Teams handbook page to get a bit more context on what it means as a whole.

This page is no longer on about.gitlab.com, and there is a redirect to the equivalent page on handbook.gitlab.com, but the content has been moved to a section on the leadership page, so currently users end up on a page that doesn't exist: https://handbook.gitlab.com/handbook/leadership/build-high-performing-teams/

What is the best way to fix this?

We should update the levelup course to link directly to https://handbook.gitlab.com/handbook/leadership/#building-high-performing-teams

This is something the Learning and Development could look into.

What else can we do?

This MR adds an alias on the leadership page https://handbook.gitlab.com/handbook/leadership/, to redirect requests for https://handbook.gitlab.com/handbook/leadership/build-high-performing-teams/ (a 404) to https://handbook.gitlab.com/handbook/leadership/ (AFAIK we can't use aliases to link directly to the #building-high-performing-teams heading in that page.
