Update most remaining broken internal handbook links

Keelan Lang requested to merge handbook-klang-update-internal-handbook-links into main

Why is this change being made?

I encountered an outstanding gitlab-internal.gitlab.io link in the handbook, and decided to do a search through all pages to find other remaining links. Since the redirects no longer work and instead 404, I:

  • Completed a find and replace on most links. I ensured that the new links work.
  • Removed some URL params that contained a redirected-from since these are not needed.
  • Left a few items that are not simple fixes.

I will ask DRIs for remaining links to review and advise on a solution.
