Erich Blume c130f72204 Update all docs titles to human-readable and delete test cards
Titles now use proper casing (e.g. "Borgmatic" instead of "borgmatic",
"AI Assistance Guide" instead of "ai-assistance-guide") and match file
stems so wiki-links work without alternate anchor text. Also removes
the title-test-alpha/beta cards and their reference index entry.
