docs(misc): remove /nx-api pages (#31453)
This PR removes the `/nx-api` pages from `nx-dev`. They are already
redirected from `/nx-api` to either `/technologies` or
`/reference/core-api` URLs.

e.g. `/nx-api/nx` goes to `/reference/core-api/nx` and `/nx-api/react`
goes to `/technologies/react/api`

**Changes**:
- Remove old `nx-api.json` from being generated in
`scripts/documentation/generators/generate-manifests.ts` -- this was
used to generate the sitemap
- Remove `pages/nx-api` from Next.js app since we don't need them
- Remove workaround from link checker
`scripts/documentation/internal-link-checker.ts` -- the angular
rspack/rsbuild and other workarounds are gone now that they are proper
docs in `map.json`
- Update Powerpack/Remote Cache reference docs to exclude API documents
(since they are duplicated in the Intro page) --
`nx-dev/models-document/src/lib/mappings.ts`
- All content in `docs` have been updated with new URL structure

**Note:** Redirects are already handled, and Claude Code was used to
verify the updated `docs/` URLs (see report below). The twelve 404s
links were updated by hand.

Skip Task Caching Learn how to bypass Nx's caching mechanism for specific tasks, skip remote caching from Nx Cloud, and reset the cache when needed.

Skip Task Caching

There are times when you might want to bypass the caching mechanism, either locally or remotely.

Skip Caching

To skip caching for a specific task, use the --skip-nx-cache flag. This can be useful when you want to ensure that a task runs fresh, without using cached results.

npx nx build --skip-nx-cache

This will avoid using any local or remote cache.

Skip Remote Caching from Nx Cloud

To skip remote caching provided by Nx Cloud, use the --no-cloud flag. This ensures that the task does not use cached results from Nx Cloud.

npx nx build --no-cloud

It will still use the local cache if available.

Reset

To clear the cache and metadata about the workspace and shuts down the Nx Daemon you can use the reset command:

npx nx reset
