feat(swap): import .md files and webp transition from myst/current
Selective import from origin/myst/current (cf9c9b34):
- Add/update 255 .md files (full MyST conversion plus webp ref updates)
- Delete 175 PNG/JPG from docs/_static/images (webp twins already present)
- Delete 5 autotest topology.png (webp twins already present)
Preserved on swap (untouched):
- All .rst files (incremental swap pattern)
- conf.py, _ext/, _include/*.txt, .gitignore
- 115 canary md-*.md files
- 7 superpowers/specs/*.md design docs
- Logos vyos-logo.png / vyos-logo-icon.png (referenced by conf.py)
