Description

When I reorganized the Ref Guide in SOLR-14444, I renamed several pages (and removed/merged others). Thus with 9.0 many links that people may have will no longer work.

When I presented at a recent committer meeting about the changes, a couple of people were concerned about this and thought we should be sure to set up redirects for all URL changes.

I kept track of page renames and removals in a spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1mwxSpn5Ky7-P4DLFrJGel2h7Il4muTlHmAA-AuRY1rs

Notably, I said when it was brought up that I did not want to be responsible for fixing this, but I would file an issue for it. So if no one else picks this up I don't intend to hold anything up for it.

Note that page renames/URL path changes pre-9.0 may not be done yet - see SOLR-15556 - so this may need to wait until all the dust settles.
