DAST add redirects

Russell Dickenson requested to merge dast-add-redirects into master

What does this MR do?

Brief description

These redirections are being put in place in GitLab 16.9, so according to the redirection convention, they're eligible to be removed on May 16, 2024, the release date of GitLab 17.0.

Background

The browser-based DAST tool references the files in the checks directory. All of these files were moved in Reorganize browser based DAST documentation (!138868 - merged), with several exceptions. Between when Mike Eddington started on !138868 (merged) and when it was ready for review and merging, 6 more files were added to the checks directory, but these were not identified at the time.

All the files in the checks directory were moved, so this MR adds a redirection for all these files.

In addition to the files in the checks directory, several related files were also moved, and this MR adds redirections for them:

  • dast/browser_based.md moved to dast/browser/index.md
  • dast/browser_based_troubleshooting.md moved to dast/browser/troubleshooting.md

Finally, several pages linked to content within the moved files, so this MR updates their links to the new locations.

Author's checklist

If you are a GitLab team member and only adding documentation, do not add any of the following labels:

  • ~"frontend"
  • ~"backend"
  • ~"type::bug"
  • ~"database"

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

Reviewer's 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 you aren't sure which tech writer to ask, use roulette or ask in the #docs Slack channel.

  • 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.
    • Ensure a release milestone is set.
    • 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 reviews above. Maintainer's review can occur before or after a technical writer review.
