Jack Baldry c1c48dd610 Use relative aliases for all non-current Grafana aliases (#60062)
* Use relative aliases for all non-current Grafana aliases

Prevents non-latest documentation "stealing" the page away from latest
and through permanent redirects for latest pages that no longer exist.

The redirected pages are indexed by search engines but our robots.txt
forbids them crawling the non-latest page.

# cURL examples
This page provides examples of calls to the Grafana API using cURL.
The most basic example for a dashboard for which there is no authentication. You can test the following on your local machine, assuming a default installation and anonymous access enabled, required:
```
curl http://localhost:3000/api/search
```
Here's a cURL command that works for getting the home dashboard when you are running Grafana locally with [basic authentication]({{< relref "../../setup-grafana/configure-security/configure-authentication/#basic-auth" >}}) enabled using the default admin credentials:
```
curl http://admin:admin@localhost:3000/api/search
```
To pass a username and password with [HTTP basic authorization]({{< relref "../../administration/roles-and-permissions/access-control/manage-rbac-roles/" >}}), encode them as base64.
You can't use authorization tokens in the request.
For example, to [list permissions associated with roles]({{< relref "../../administration/roles-and-permissions/access-control/manage-rbac-roles/" >}}) given a username of `user` and password of `password`, use:
```
curl --location --request GET '<grafana_url>/api/access-control/builtin-roles' --header 'Authorization: Basic dXNlcjpwYXNzd29yZAo='
```
where `dXNlcjpwYXNzd29yZAo=` is the base64 encoding of `user:password`.
