docs(misc): remove /nx-api pages (#31453)
This PR removes the `/nx-api` pages from `nx-dev`. They are already
redirected from `/nx-api` to either `/technologies` or
`/reference/core-api` URLs.

e.g. `/nx-api/nx` goes to `/reference/core-api/nx` and `/nx-api/react`
goes to `/technologies/react/api`

**Changes**:
- Remove old `nx-api.json` from being generated in
`scripts/documentation/generators/generate-manifests.ts` -- this was
used to generate the sitemap
- Remove `pages/nx-api` from Next.js app since we don't need them
- Remove workaround from link checker
`scripts/documentation/internal-link-checker.ts` -- the angular
rspack/rsbuild and other workarounds are gone now that they are proper
docs in `map.json`
- Update Powerpack/Remote Cache reference docs to exclude API documents
(since they are duplicated in the Intro page) --
`nx-dev/models-document/src/lib/mappings.ts`
- All content in `docs` have been updated with new URL structure

**Note:** Redirects are already handled, and Claude Code was used to
verify the updated `docs/` URLs (see report below). The twelve 404s
links were updated by hand.

## Create a New Workspace with a Fastify App
If you're starting from scratch, you can use a preset to get you started quickly.
```shell
npx create-nx-workspace@latest --preset=node-monorepo --framework=fastify --appName=fastify-api
```
Then you can skip to the [Create a Library](#create-a-library) section.
If you are adding Fastify to an existing repo, continue to the next section.
## Install the Node Plugin
```shell {% skipRescope=true %}
nx add @nx/node
```
## Create an Application
Use the `app` generator to create a new Fastify app.
```shell
nx g @nx/node:app apps/fastify-api
```
Serve the API by running
```shell
nx serve fastify-api
```
This starts the application on localhost:3000/api by default.
## Create a Library
To create a new library, run:
```shell
nx g @nx/node:lib libs/my-lib
```
Once the library is created, update the following files.
```typescript {% fileName="libs/my-lib/src/lib/my-lib.ts" %}
export function someFunction(): string {
return 'some function';
}
```
```typescript {% fileName="apps/fastify-app/src/app/routes/root.ts" %}
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.
