docs(misc): update URls that should point to intro pages rather than API index pages (#31531)
This PR fixes an issue introduced when we removed `/nx-api` pages:
https://github.com/nrwl/nx/pull/31453.

Most of the old `/nx-api/<plugin>` URLs should now go to
`/technologies/<plugin>/introduction`, since those pages contain what
was on the previous "overview" pages.

The only exception are places where we explicitly link to
`.../api/{generators,executors,migrations}` URLs, and the following
three blog posts that we want users to land on the API index.

Supported Features

Because we are using an Nx plugin for Fastify, all the features of Nx are available.

Create a New Workspace with a Fastify App

If you're starting from scratch, you can use a preset to get you started quickly.

npx create-nx-workspace@latest --preset=node-monorepo --framework=fastify --appName=fastify-api

Then you can skip to the Create a Library section.

If you are adding Fastify to an existing repo, continue to the next section.

Install the Node Plugin

nx add @nx/node

Create an Application

Use the app generator to create a new Fastify app.

nx g @nx/node:app apps/fastify-api

Serve the API by running

nx serve fastify-api

This starts the application on localhost:3000/api by default.

Create a Library

To create a new library, run:

nx g @nx/node:lib libs/my-lib

Once the library is created, update the following files.

export function someFunction(): string {
  return 'some function';
}
import { someFunction } from '@my-org/my-lib';
import { FastifyInstance, FastifyRequest, FastifyReply } from 'fastify';

export default async function (fastify: FastifyInstance) {
  fastify.get(
    '/',
    async function (request: FastifyRequest, reply: FastifyReply) {
      return { message: 'Hello API ' + someFunction };
    }
  );
}

Now when you serve your API, you'll see the content from the library being displayed.
