Repoint the User Authentication backlinks at the new documentation tree

Step 4 of the conversion merged in Convert the User Authentication documentation into the documentation tree: the pages that link into the content which moved to documentation.xs.admin.authentication now link at it directly, instead of going through the stripped Documentation.AdminGuide.Authentication pointer page.
Six of that page's twelve backlinks are prose links into moved content, and they are the ones changed here:
| Page | Now points at |
|---|---|
| Documentation.AdminGuide.Configuration | User Authentication |
| Documentation.AdminGuide.Security | Authentication Parameters |
| Documentation.AdminGuide (the Main Topics card) | User Authentication |
| Documentation.UserGuide.Features.Authentication | Customize the Authentication Mail Templates (twice), User Authentication |
| documentation.extensions.admin.llm.mcp-server.configure | Select the Authenticator |
| documentation.xs.admin.instance-cloning | User Authentication |
Three of those links carried an anchor into a section that the strip removed (#HMailTemplates, #HAuthenticationparameters, #HChoosetheauthenticator), so they were already landing at the top of the pointer page. They now land on the page that holds the content.
The remaining six backlinks are deliberately left alone: the two release-note entries and the cristal.xwiki.org page are dated historical records, and the three extensions.xwiki.org pages link the extension in order to install it, which is what those pages are for.
Only the content of each page is changed — no title, no xobject.
