Draft: Rename DAST API to API security testing in all documentation

Russell Dickenson requested to merge rd/rename-to-api-security-testing into master

Change all instances of "DAST API" in the documentation to "API security testing".

In scope:

  • Rename all instances in the docs of "DAST API" to "API security testing".
  • Move all API security testing documentation to the new directory api_security_testing.
    • Added redirection files for every markdown file moved to the new directory.
  • Raise a separate MR to apply the renaming to the docs site's left navigation bar.

Changes to UI text are technically in scope, but there are no links in the UI to the API Security Testing documentation.

Out of scope:

Anything requiring code changes, except for UI text files, specifically:

  • API security testing output (e.g. log output).
  • CI/CD variables specific to API security testing.
  • References to the API security testing CI/CD template - DAST-API.gitlab-ci.yml

For a before and after comparison of file names, also numbers of files and directories, see !149639 (comment 1863707203)
