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.
