feat: flip swap mechanism — MD as primary, RST as override (Phase 1)
This is the first of three phases inverting the per-page swap mechanism
so MD becomes the canonical primary and RST becomes the rare override.
Phase 1 — file renames + conf.py exclude_patterns flip only:
- Rename docs/**/md-<stem>.md to docs/**/<stem>.md (drop md- prefix)
for all 254 stems previously listed in docs/_swap.txt
- Rename docs/**/<stem>.rst to docs/**/rst-<stem>.rst (add rst- prefix)
for the same 254 stems
- Repurpose docs/_swap.txt as docs/_rst_overrides.txt; initially empty
comment-only since no pages need the RST fallback right now
- conf.py exclude_patterns flipped: rst-*.rst is now excluded by default
instead of md-*.md
- conf.py runtime-artifact references updated to _rst_override_state.json
and _md_exclude.txt (Phase 2 will rewrite swap_sources.py to produce
these names; for now no swap script runs because overrides list is empty)
Phase 2 (next commit on this branch) will rewrite scripts/swap_sources.py
with inverted rename direction, delete scripts/import_myst.py + tests, and
update tests/test_swap_sources.py for the new semantics.
Phase 3 will be the cleanup pass and ready-for-review flip.
