Update documentation links that now permanently redirect #3358

Description

@adamtheturtle

What happens

The linkcheck hook fails, and it is not intermittent. Sphinx runs with warnings treated as errors, and several documentation links now return permanent redirects:

File Link Redirects to

The name of the builder is: linkcheck
build finished with problems, 2 warnings (with warnings treated as errors).

Why it matters

This fails on every run, so it blocks pull requests whose own diffs are fine. #3324 is a one-line Dependabot bump and has been held up by this and by #3355 in alternation.

Notes

Vuforia appears to have moved its library under /library/vuforia-engine/, and the redirect drops the #result-codes anchor, so the replacement link may need a new anchor rather than a straight substitution. The target-manager link redirecting to a login page suggests it may no longer be reachable anonymously at all, and may want a different destination.

#3351 already uses the new-style developer.vuforia.com/library/vuforia-engine/web-api/vuforia-query-web-api/ form, so part of the change is in flight.
