#5861: Redirect all remaining pages to HelpHub where possible

Currently we have stub pages on Codex like this one:
https://codex.wordpress.org/New_To_WordPress_-_Where_to_Start
It includes a "this page has moved to" link, but doesn't automatically
redirect. I believe it was done this way in order to retain the locale
list on that page that links to translated versions of it such as
https://codex.wordpress.org/es:Nuevo_en_WordPress_-_Por_dónde_empezar.
We should 30x redirect as many of these as possible to equivalent HelpHub
pages. This probably requires building a table (spreadsheet, csv?) listing
every page that needs to be redirected. Perhaps something like:
{{{
https://codex.wordpress.org/New_To_WordPress_-_Where_to_Start, 301,
https://wordpress.org/support/article/new-to-wordpress-where-to-start/
https://codex.wordpress.org/es:Nuevo_en_WordPress_-_Por_dónde_empezar,
301, https://es.wordpress.org/support/article/new-to-wordpress-where-to-
start/
}}}
Additionally there are other non-stub pages that should be redirected or
retired. For example:
https://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ
https://codex.wordpress.org/Advanced_Topics
https://codex.wordpress.org/Developer_Documentation
Some of these are category pages, some not. Ideally, anything that can be
redirected to HelpHub or other documentation, should be redirected. We'll
need destinations for those, whether it's part of the same list or
something else manually created. It might also be helpful to have a list
of remaining pages, so they can be manually dealt with.
