Pull request overview
This PR refactors the Microsoft.Testing.Platform (MTP) documentation to improve navigation and organization. It shifts from an extension-centric structure to a feature-centric structure, making it easier for users to find the information they need based on their goals rather than navigating through generic "extensions" categories.
Changes:
- Adds new test platforms overview page to help users choose between VSTest and MTP
- Reorganizes MTP documentation from extension categories to feature-specific pages (terminal output, test reports, code coverage, crash/hang dumps, retry, hot reload, fakes, OpenTelemetry, telemetry)
- Creates consolidated CLI options reference page
- Merges exit codes and FAQ content into unified troubleshooting page
- Splits architecture documentation into separate pages for test frameworks vs extensions
- Updates TOC for better navigation hierarchy
- Establishes comprehensive redirects for all renamed/deleted pages

Summary
Explain what are test platforms and how to choose the one to use. Add links to the test frameworks, because that's what people know and will use.
Also refactor MTP doc so that it's easier to browse and look for the info.
