refactor(swap): rename imported .md files to md- prefix for swap mechanism
Restore the canary file naming convention that swap_sources.py expects: the imported MyST pages now live as docs/<dir>/md-<name>.md alongside the existing docs/<dir>/<name>.rst, so swap_sources.py --swap can rename them into place at build time. - 254 .md files renamed (every page with a matching .rst counterpart) - 2 MyST-only pages left at their final names (no .rst exists, no swap needed): docs/copyright.md, docs/automation/terraform/terraformvyos.md All 114 stems listed in docs/_swap.txt now have a corresponding md-<name>.md source file ready to swap in. 🤖 Generated by [robots](https://vyos.io)
