docs: one knowledge base for both workloads

- docs/index.md: LLM Fleet section (all 34 pages linked), merge note,
  See Also now internal
- docs/LLM/index.md: retitled, dangling [[Dankserver]]/[[Dankclaw]]
  links fixed, sibling section replaced with internal links
- docs/LLM/deployment.md: rewritten for the unified deploy flow,
  manual-update paths point at the merged checkout, incident history
  kept intact
- Deployment Flow / Dankclaw Stack / Gitea: stale vllmScripts
  references and retired-topology notes updated to the 2026-08-22
  state
- Historical docs (frank-redo, PP deployment, FastFlowLM) keep their
  dated runbook paths as-is (records of retired topologies)
