Update stale docs.gitlab.com links

What does this MR do?

This is a recreation of !5318 (closed), which was created with a docs- branch name by accident. This MR targets code, so we should run the full pipeline.


Changes:

Audited every hardcoded https://docs.gitlab.com URL in this repo against the current documentation site structure, and fixed the ones that were unambiguously stale:

  • Dropped the .html suffix and the trailing /index segment from links in the chart templates, values.yaml, and the examples.
  • Removed the /ee/ path prefix.
  • Repointed three pages that moved: /policy/experiment-beta-support/ to /policy/development_stages_support/, /install/installation/ to /install/self_compiled/, and /administration/gitaly/#enable-tls-support to /administration/gitaly/tls_support/.
  • Updated eleven anchors that were renamed on their target pages, and removed a duplicated anchor in examples/email/values-incoming-email.yaml.

CHANGELOG.md, translations under docs-locale/, and the Vale configuration under doc/.vale/ (which is synced from gitlab-org/gitlab) were left alone.

Author's checklist

If you are only adding documentation, do not add any of the following labels:

  • ~"feature"
  • ~"frontend"
  • ~"backend"
  • ~"bug"
  • ~"database"

These labels cause the MR to be added to code verification QA issues.

Review checklist

Documentation-related MRs should be reviewed by a Technical Writer for a non-blocking review, based on Documentation Guidelines and the Style Guide.

  • If the content requires it, ensure the information is reviewed by a subject matter expert.
  • Technical writer review items:
    • Ensure docs metadata is present and up-to-date.
    • Ensure the appropriate labels are added to this MR.
    • If relevant to this MR, ensure content topic type principles are in use, including:
      • The headings should be something you'd do a Google search for. Instead of Default behavior, say something like Default behavior when you close an issue.
      • The headings (other than the page title) should be active. Instead of Configuring GDK, say something like Configure GDK.
      • Any task steps should be written as a numbered list.
      • If the content still needs to be edited for topic types, you can create a follow-up issue with the docs-technical-debt label.
  • Review by assigned maintainer, who can always request/require the above reviews. Maintainer's review can occur before or after a technical writer review.
  • Ensure a release milestone is set.
