mishop-15 a257c29c26 add redirect for old upgrading.html URL to fix broken changelog links (#20582)
## Which issue does this PR close?

- Closes #20572

## Rationale for this change

When upgrade guides were split into separate pages (#20183), the old
`upgrading.html` URL broke. All changelog files still reference this old
URL, causing 404 errors for users.

## What changes are included in this PR?

Added a redirect in `docs/source/conf.py` using the existing
`sphinx_reredirects` extension to redirect
`library-user-guide/upgrading.html` to
`library-user-guide/upgrading/index.html`.

This preserves all existing changelog links without needing to update
historical files.

## Are these changes tested?

Tested locally - the redirect works correctly, including with anchor
links (e.g., `upgrading.html#datafusion-46-0-0`).

## Are there any user-facing changes?

Yes - users clicking old changelog links will now be redirected to the
correct page instead of getting a 404.

DataFusion Documentation

This folder contains the source content of the User Guide and Contributor Guide. These are both published to https://datafusion.apache.org/ as part of the release process.

Dependencies

Install build dependencies and build the documentation using uv:

uv sync
uv run bash build.sh

The docs build regenerates the workspace dependency graph via docs/scripts/generate_dependency_graph.sh, so ensure cargo, cargo-depgraph (cargo install cargo-depgraph --version ^1.6 --locked), and Graphviz dot (brew install graphviz or sudo apt-get install -y graphviz) are available.

Build & Preview

Run the provided script to build the HTML pages.

# If using venv, ensure you have activated it
./build.sh

The HTML will be generated into a build directory. Open build/html/index.html in your preferred browser, e.g.

Preview the site on Linux by running this command.

# On macOS
open build/html/index.html
# On Linux with Firefox
firefox build/html/index.html
