The operate-removal PR's skipPatterns silenced the no-more-404 plugin
without actually redirecting the URLs — users with bookmarked links
would still hit 404s. Replace with proper [[redirects]] rules per
~/viam/code-map/operate-removal-plan.md.
- Remove 17 paths from skipPatterns (keep only /tags/, which is Hugo
auto-generated and legitimately unredirectable)
- Add ~50 specific [[redirects]] entries:
- operate/hello-world/, operate/mobility/, operate/get-started/ paths
- operate/modules/ (basics, deploy-module, advanced/module-naming,
create-module/*, other-hardware/*, supported-hardware/X for 14
components, orted-hardware/* typo paths)
- operate/reference/{module-configuration,naming-modules,
services/frame-system/frame-config}
- SLAM URLs (services/slam/, mobility/slam/, operate/reference/services/slam/)
redirect to /navigation/
- Old IA paths (architecture/, internals/, components/camera/calibrate/,
components/movement-sensor/set-up-base-station/)
- Old micro-rdk paths (build/micro-rdk/X, micro-rdk/X for 8 component types)
- Long-deleted tutorials (build-a-mock-robot, configure-a-camera, etc.)

Summary
Production deploy is failing because the operate-removal PR (#4983) used `skipPatterns` to silence the no-more-404 plugin instead of writing real redirects. Skipping just hides the warning — users with bookmarked URLs still hit 404s.
This PR replaces the skipPatterns with proper `[[redirects]]` rules using destinations from `~/viam/code-map/operate-removal-plan.md`.
What changed
skipPatterns — kept only `/tags/` (Hugo auto-generates these from frontmatter and they legitimately come and go with content). Removed 17 other entries that masked real 404s.
Added ~50 redirect rules for:
