Due to relative paths from the old structure, wrong naming of new folders or linking to pages in new articles that don't exist yet, there are a bunch of links in the documentation that lead to 404s which also impacts SEO.

In this PR, paths are being fixed so there are no more dead links inside the documentation, as well as new pages being added where they are needed due articles already linking there.

The creation of all missing pages according to the new structure will be done in a separate PR, as the existence of a lot of empty pages first has to be checked for SEO impact severity. Sooner or later this has to be done though, so the pages that still need to be newly written enter our review-cycle-bot-recommendations.

Also, a standard if everyone uses relative or absolute paths should be discussed going forward.
I would plead for absolute paths for better readability and easier search/replace, as well as target pages probably being less prone to be moved as we settle into the new documentation structure.

I love this! Do you think it's possible to maybe add a check in the pipeline which inspects the markdown files and automatically check if all links are valid? That would be a huge improvement and we won't ever be able to ship broken links!

Great idea! Fixed the state of things to be clean now in this PR and will open a separate issue for that to keep things clean going forward.
