Bump topics patch

Description

This pull request updates documentation references throughout the Redpanda Cloud docs to use direct links to the API reference documentation instead of Antora xref macros and tag variables. This change improves clarity and ensures that API documentation links are always accurate and up to date. Additionally, some outdated branch references are removed from the Antora playbook.

Key documentation improvements:

API Documentation Linking:

• Replaced Antora xref macros and tag variables with direct link:/api/doc/... references for all Cloud Control Plane and Data Plane API documentation links in navigation and content files. This affects files such as modules/ROOT/nav.adoc, modules/get-started/pages/cloud-overview.adoc, modules/get-started/pages/whats-new-cloud.adoc, modules/develop/pages/connect/about.adoc, modules/manage/partials/controlplane-api.adoc, and modules/networking/pages/azure-private-link.adoc. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6]

Antora Playbook Maintenance:

• Removed the api branch from the list of tracked branches for the redpanda-data/documentation repository in local-antora-playbook.yml, as it is no longer needed.

Cleanup of Unused Variables:

• Removed unused :tag-...: variables from modules/manage/partials/controlplane-api.adoc since all related references now use direct links.

Consistency Improvements:

• Updated all mentions of the Data Plane API in quickstart and overview sections to use the new direct link format for consistency and improved user experience. [1] [2] [3]

These changes help ensure that users are always directed to the latest and most accurate API documentation and reduce the maintenance burden of managing tag variables and xref macros for API links.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The Antora playbook (local-antora-playbook.yml) removes the "api" branch from the documentation source branches, keeping [main, v/*, shared, site-search]. The navigation file (modules/ROOT/nav.adoc) updates five Cloud API links to use slug-based references by removing the .adoc extension: Quickstart, Overview, Authentication, Errors and Status Codes, and Deprecation Policy. No other structural or content changes are indicated.
