Removes and redirects cells design documents

What does this MR do?

Adds cells design documents and notes partitioning (gitlab-com/content-sites/handbook!7085 - merged) is a MR dependency for this MR We should only merge this once the dependency has been deployed!

We are currently migrating the Architecture design documents from the gitlab project to the public handbook.

gitlab-com/content-sites/handbook!7085 (merged) adds the cells design documents to the handbook (plus a hidden design doc for notes table partitioning) and missing redirects for backup_and_restore and secret_manager. See table on the migration issue). Now this MR removes the original documents from the gitlab repository and instead adds redirects to the handbook. It also adds a redirect to the main "old" blueprints page. This MR wraps up the design documents migration.

Excerpt from design docs table. These documents are in this MR.

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.
