Ben Duncan 8b3c706ea3 docs: rework the multi-node install guide, fix cross-doc links
Multi-node install
- Lead with the fact that the guide builds a three-node cluster, and say
  how to go beyond three. The callout sits inside ## Overview because the
  docs site discards everything above the first section heading.
- Replace the OVN-only sizing prose with a table covering all three
  distributed layers, and move the OVN control-plane detail into the VPC
  networking guide, linked from here.
- Add minimum and recommended hardware.
- Move the object storage layout to the end as background; it was the
  second thing a reader hit.
- Collapse the ISO conversion notes from a section into one skippable
  box, now that --force is unconditional in Step 4 and the formation
  port needs no manual intervention.
- Expand verification with spx get nodes and spx top nodes, including
  what to look for in each.
- Drop the install-node.sh shortcut (internal tooling) and the
  "adding a node later" section (no good story yet).

Corrections found while writing
- Servers 4+ were described as running no database. They run predastore
  and viperblock like every other node; only the OVN database cluster is
  capped at three. Fixed in four places.
- Step 4 never needed the firewall down: spx admin init opens the
  formation port itself for the formation window. Only Step 3's
  peer-scoped OVN ports are affected.
- `nft list table inet spinifex_filter | grep spinifex_peers` could never
  match — the peer list is an nft define, expanded at load time. Anyone
  following it would have seen empty output and assumed the worst.
- Disambiguate "database": with predastore, NATS and OVN all in play it
  needed qualifying throughout.
- Align the example output region with the AWS_REGION the guide exports.

Cross-doc links
- Rewrite relative and category-prefixed links to the canonical
  /docs/<slug> form. The site publishes docs flat, so ../foo/README.md
  and /docs/category/foo both 404.
- Point the six links to unpublished docs at the source repo instead.
- Fix four fragments written against GitHub's anchor algorithm.

Josh Siviour e84753f9b9 docs: bring doc titles and descriptions into SEO length limits (#831)
* docs: bring doc titles and descriptions into SEO length limits

Rewrite the frontmatter title and description of every published doc so the
rendered <title> lands in 50-60 characters (including the site suffix) and the
meta description lands in 150-160 characters.

* docs: move SEO titles to a seoTitle field and restore display titles

The frontmatter title renders as the page H1 and the sidebar label, so tuning it
for the title tag shortened nothing and lengthened the visible navigation. Put
the search-facing string in seoTitle and give title back its original value.
