Sylvestre Ledru 0c1faf0588 Bug 2060035 - Remove the duplicated MDN import of the DevTools Memory panel docs. r=devtools-reviewers,nchevobbe
The DevTools Memory panel user documentation was imported from MDN
twice: once into devtools-user/memory (the DevTools user docs tree) and
once into performance/memory, alongside the genuine Gecko
memory-debugging docs. The two copies had already drifted apart.

Keep the devtools-user copy, which is the right home for user-facing
DevTools documentation and is self-contained (it carries its own
images), and drop the eight pages and 34 images duplicated under
performance/memory. That tree keeps the Gecko-specific content
(about:memory, AWSY, BloatView, DMD, leak hunting, refcount tracing).

The performance/memory index now points at the DevTools user docs
instead of listing the copies, and redirects are added so the old URLs
keep resolving.

./mach doc goes from 672 to 661 warnings.
