Update docs about changing routes

Mark Florian requested to merge docs-route-change-redirects into master

What does this MR do and why?

This updates our docs to better reflect our stance on changing routes. That is, keep redirects indefinitely.

History

In %16.0, we removed some legacy redirects. Even though many of them had been in place for four major releases before they were removed, we encountered lots of problems with our own scripts and documents 404ing, and heard from the community similar problems.

So, we reverted the removal of the redirects.
