Stephan Lo 62999b41d0 feat(docs): restructure documentation with new framework and templates
- Archive old docs to docs-old/ for reference
- Create new top-down documentation structure:
  * Platform Overview: purpose, audience, product structure
  * Components: individual platform components (Forgejo, Kubernetes, Backstage)
  * Getting Started: onboarding and quick start guides
  * Operations: deployment, monitoring, troubleshooting
  * Governance: ADRs, project history, compliance
- Add DOCUMENTATION-GUIDE.md with writing guidelines and templates
- Add component template (TEMPLATE.md) for consistent documentation
- Simplify root README and move technical docs to doc/ folder
- Update test configuration:
  * Exclude legacy content from markdown linting
  * Relax HTML validation for theme-generated content
  * Skip link checking for legacy content in test:links
  * Keep 'task test' clean for technical writers (100% pass)
  * Add 'task test:full' with comprehensive link checking
- Update home page with corrected markdown syntax
- Fix internal links in archived content

BREAKING CHANGE: Documentation structure changed from flat to hierarchical top-down approach
