Revert "removed unneeded ref shortcodes, updated VM changelog to use relative markdown links (#6691 )"

This reverts commit 2e9b1efeb9.

Reason for revert: relative links in docs are much harder to maintain in consistent state
comparing to absolute links:

- It is non-trivial to figure out the proper relative link path when creating and editing docs.
- Relative links break after moving the doc files to another paths, and it is non-trivial
  to figure which links are broken after that.
- The updated relative links do not work properly right now in the docs.
  For example, the https://docs.victoriametrics.com/victorialogs/quickstart.md#building-from-source-code
  link at https://docs.victoriametrics.com/victorialogs/changelog/ leads to 404 page.

This is documented at https://docs.victoriametrics.com/#images-in-documentation .

To Send data to Vector you need to configure with a Prometheus remote write sink and forward metrics to that sink from at least 1 source. You will need to replace the values in <> with your to match your setup.

Minimum Config

sources:
  host_metrics_source:
    type: host_metrics
sinks:
  victoriametrics_sink:
    type: prometheus_remote_write
    inputs:
      - host_metrics_source
    endpoint: "https://<victoriametrics_url>/api/v1/write"
    healthcheck:
      enabled: false

Basic Authentication

This adds support for basic authentication by defining the auth strategy, user, and password fields:

sources:
  host_metrics_source:
    type: host_metrics
sinks:
  victoriametrics_sink:
    type: prometheus_remote_write
    inputs:
      - host_metrics_source
    endpoint: "https://<victoriametrics_url>/api/v1/write"
    auth:
      strategy: "basic"
      user: "<victoriametrics_user"
      password: "<victoriametrics_password>"
    healthcheck:
      enabled: false

Bearer / Token Authentication

This adds support for bearer/token authentication by defining the auth strategy and token fields:

sources:
  host_metrics_source:
    type: host_metrics
sinks:
  victoriametrics_sink:
    type: prometheus_remote_write
    inputs:
      - host_metrics_source
    endpoint: "https://<victoriametrics_url>/api/v1/write"
    auth:
      strategy: "bearer"
      token: "<victoriametrics_token>"
    healthcheck:
      enabled: false

VictoriaMetrics and VictoriaLogs

This combines the Bearer Authentication section with the VictoriaLogs docs for Vector, so you can send metrics and logs with 1 agent to multiple sources:

sources:
  host_metrics_source:
    type: host_metrics
  journald_source:
    type: journald
sinks:
  victoriametrics_sink:
    type: prometheus_remote_write
    inputs:
      - host_metrics_source
    endpoint: "https://<victoriametrics_url>/api/v1/write"
    auth:
      strategy: "bearer"
      token: "<token>"
    healthcheck:
      enabled: false
  victorialogs_sink:
    inputs:
      - journald_source
    type: elasticsearch
    endpoints:
      - "https://<victorialogs_url>/insert/elasticsearch/"
    mode: bulk
    api_version: "v8"
    healthcheck:
      enabled: false
    query:
      _msg_field: "message"
      _time_field: "timestamp"
      _stream_fields: "host,container_name"
