Summary

Ahrefs flagged "Page has links to redirect" — pages linking to URLs that return 3xx instead of 200. This PR fixes the cases that are our own content (avoidable hop or malformed URL). External links that redirect via the target site's own canonicalization (www / locale / http→https on third-party sites) are intentionally left as-is.

Fixes

File Change
releases/v3-6-x.mdx PR #8522 link had a stray trailing dot (pull/8522.) → 302 to a "new PR" page; removed the dot
releases/v3-4-x.mdx #6321 is an issue, not a PR → issues/6321; github.blog git-protocol post → final security/application-security/... path
WindowsUpgradeSteps.astro, LinuxUpgradeSteps.astro v15.material.angular.iov15.material.angular.dev (covers all upgrade-instruction pages)
ce-vs-pe-diff/index.astro "Improve this page" pointed at the dead thingsboard.github.io repo → now thingsboard.io/edit/main/src/pages/ce-vs-pe-diff/index.astro
hardware-partners.ts iotrouter website http://https:// (301)

Left as-is (not our concern)

External canonical redirects — partner/customer sites (intel, roltek, teltonika, …), jwt.io, doi.org, Slack, Medium/blog.angular.dev, seeedstudio, treasury.gov, Google Analytics, etc. netvox.com.tw stays http (site has no HTTPS) and keeps www (bare domain serves an unrelated webmail form).

Resolve internal-content links that returned 3xx, pointing them at the
final destination or fixing malformed URLs:

- releases v3.6.x: drop stray trailing dot in PR #8522 link (was 302 to
  "new PR" page)
- releases v3.4.x: PR #6321 -> issues/6321 (it is an issue); github.blog
  git-protocol post -> final security/application-security path
- upgrade instructions (Linux/Windows steps): material.angular.io -> .dev
- ce-vs-pe-diff: point "Improve this page" at the current repo/path
  (thingsboard.io/edit/main/...) instead of the dead thingsboard.github.io
- partners: iotrouter website http -> https

External links that redirect via the target site's own canonicalization
(www, locale, http->https on sites without our control) are left as-is.
