#57726: Use the new /documentation/ URLs for HelpHub links

 Priority:  normal          |  Milestone:  6.2
Component:  General         |    Version:
 Severity:  normal          |   Keywords:
  Focuses:  docs            |
----------------------------+--------------------
 https://wordpress.org/support/ was recently redirected to
 https://wordpress.org/documentation/. That includes the root `/support/`
 page, as well as all `/support/article/*` pages, with the exception of
 support forums at https://wordpress.org/support/forums/.

 This has some consequences for core:

 1. All `/support/article/*` URLs should be redirected to
 `/documentation/article/*` to avoid an extra redirect.
 2. Links like this in Help tabs look confusing now:
 {{{
 '<p><strong>' . __( 'For more information:' ) . '</strong></p>' .
 '<p>' . __( '<a href="https://wordpress.org/support/article/comments-
 screen/">Documentation on Comments</a>' ) . '</p>' .
 '<p>' . __( '<a href="https://wordpress.org/support/">Support</a>' ) .
 '</p>'
 }}}
  * The second link says Support, but links to a page called Documentation.
  * We could update it to:
 {{{
 '<p>' . __( '<a
 href="https://wordpress.org/documentation/">Documentation</a>' ) . '</p>'
 }}}
  but then the whole list looks a bit weird:[[BR]][[BR]]
  > For more information:
  > * Documentation on Comments
  > * Documentation ''(on what?)''
  * Should the second link be updated to
 https://wordpress.org/support/forums/ instead?

 Note: The old `/support/article/*` URLs still work (with a redirect to the
 new location), so this can be moved to 6.3 if preferred, but I think it
 would be a better user experience to at least address the first item here
 for 6.2.
