Add redirects for 52 legacy doc paths still returning 404 (batch 3)

[danstotts-ops]

What

Third batch of legacy-path redirects. The Ahrefs Site Audit 4XX issue flags 56 docs.runpod.io paths still returning 404 (verified against the live site today). These are leftovers from the GitBook, ReadMe (/docs/*, /reference/*), and Docusaurus (/category/*, /hosting/*) eras of the docs site. Several sources carry external backlinks (page rating 5-7 in Ahrefs), so they leak authority and strand real visitors.

Follows the same method as #692 and #694: each path mapped to the closest current content-equivalent page (exact successor > renamed feature's new home > category target > nearest section overview), every destination verified live (HTTP 200), and no destination is itself a redirect source (one hop only). Old-page content was confirmed via this repo's git history (GitBook/ReadMe-era trees) and the Wayback Machine where available.

Change

Adds 52 entries to the redirects array in docs.json. Also normalizes a trailing blank line in overview.mdx (whitespace-only) so the .mdx-path-filtered "Check tooltip imports" workflow and the Mintlify staging deployment both run on this PR.

Mapping notes:

• Hosting paths follow the existing precedent: hosting/* was consolidated into hosting/partner-requirements, which already redirects to /references/security-and-compliance.
• /docs/start-pod was the old GraphQL "Start On-Demand Pod" page (verified via Wayback); /sdks/graphql/manage-pods documents the podResume mutation.
• /graphql/spec points to /sdks/graphql/manage-pods rather than /references/graphql-spec because the latter is an external-link nav entry (returns 307 to graphql-spec.runpod.io), not a page, and destinations must be final pages.
• /serverless/endpoints/get-job-status points to /serverless/endpoints/operation-reference (documents the /status operation) instead of /serverless/endpoints/operations, because /serverless/endpoints/operations is itself a redirect source in docs.json.
• /faq and /docs/faq point to /get-started/concepts. Note the existing /references/faq redirect points to /pods/troubleshooting/zero-gpus; concepts is a better general-FAQ landing, but flag if you would rather keep all three consistent.

Intentionally left to 404

No plausible current content equivalent exists for these; redirecting them anywhere would mislead:

• /pods/monitoring/prometheus (no Prometheus/monitoring docs exist today)
• /resource-management (topic unidentifiable; never archived, no trace in repo history)
• /references/region-availability (no current page lists regions/data centers)
• /gpu-memory-management (no current GPU memory/OOM docs; serverless/development/optimization covers cold starts, not memory)

Verification

• docs.json parses as valid JSON; no duplicate sources across all 171 redirect entries.
• All 52 destinations returned HTTP 200 on https://docs.runpod.io today; none is a redirect source (one hop only).
• node scripts/validate-tooltips.js passes.

Merge gotcha: branch protection requires an ACTIVE Mintlify staging deployment, which any other branch's preview deploy invalidates. Approve and squash-merge in one sitting right after checks go green.
