feat: Migrate NGINX Gateway Fabric documentation into repository (#81)

With the newly open source documentation repository, we can now
consolidate all NGINX documentation into one place. This has a lots of
benefits which include but are not limited to more effective content
re-use, pipeline engineering and style enforcement.

This commit adds all of the content for NGINX Gateway Fabric, and
updates all relevant folder and file names, including link references.
Once this content has been successfully deployed, a PR to remove all
documentation traces and tooling will be opened in the Gateway Fabric
repository, decoupling the documentation fully.

It also updates the frontmatter of every single page in the 
documentation set. They are now all consistent in their fields and 
formatting, and a handful of IA or heading changes have 
been made as low-hanging fruit to bring the documentation 
set closer to full consistency.

+To avoid client service interruptions when upgrading NGINX Gateway Fabric, you can configure [`PreStop` hooks](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/containers/container-lifecycle-hooks/) to delay terminating the NGINX Gateway Fabric pod, allowing the pod to complete certain actions before shutting down. This ensures a smooth upgrade without any downtime, also known as a zero downtime upgrade.
+
+For an in-depth explanation of how Kubernetes handles pod termination, see the [Termination of Pods](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/workloads/pods/pod-lifecycle/#pod-termination) topic on their official website.
+
+{{<note>}}Keep in mind that NGINX won't shut down while WebSocket or other long-lived connections are open. NGINX will only stop when these connections are closed by the client or the backend. If these connections stay open during an upgrade, Kubernetes might need to shut down NGINX forcefully. This sudden shutdown could interrupt service for clients.{{</note>}}

+There are two options for accessing NGINX Gateway Fabric depending on the type of LoadBalancer service you chose during installation:
+
+- If the LoadBalancer type is `NodePort`, Kubernetes will randomly allocate two ports on every node of the cluster.
+  To access the NGINX Gateway Fabric, use an IP address of any node of the cluster along with the two allocated ports.
+
+  {{<tip>}} Read more about the type NodePort in the [Kubernetes documentation](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/services-networking/service/#type-nodeport). {{</tip>}}
+
+- If the LoadBalancer type is `LoadBalancer`:
+
+  - For GCP or Azure, Kubernetes will allocate a cloud load balancer for load balancing the NGINX Gateway Fabric pods.
+    Use the public IP of the load balancer to access NGINX Gateway Fabric.
+  - For AWS, Kubernetes will allocate a Network Load Balancer (NLB) in TCP mode with the PROXY protocol enabled to pass
+    the client's information (the IP address and the port).
+
+  Use the public IP of the load balancer to access NGINX Gateway Fabric. To get the public IP which is reported in the `EXTERNAL-IP` column:
+
+  - For GCP or Azure, run:
+
+    ```shell
+    kubectl get svc nginx-gateway -n nginx-gateway
+    ```
+
+  - In AWS, the NLB (Network Load Balancer) DNS (directory name system) name will be reported by Kubernetes instead of a public IP. To get the DNS name, run:
+
+    ```shell
+    kubectl get svc nginx-gateway -n nginx-gateway
+    ```
+
+    {{< note >}} We recommend using the NLB DNS whenever possible, but for testing purposes, you can resolve the DNS name to get the IP address of the load balancer:
+
+  ```shell
+  nslookup <dns-name>
+  ```
+
+    {{< /note >}}
+
+  {{<tip>}} Learn more about type LoadBalancer in the [Kubernetes documentation](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/services-networking/service/#type-loadbalancer).
+
+  For AWS, additional options regarding an allocated load balancer are available, such as its type and SSL
+  termination. Read the [Kubernetes documentation](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/services-networking/service/#type-loadbalancer) to learn more.

+{{<important>}}By default Helm and manifests configure NGINX Gateway Fabric on ports `80` and `443`, affecting any gateway [listeners](https://gateway-api.sigs.k8s.io/references/spec/#gateway.networking.k8s.io/v1.Listener) on these ports. To use different ports, update the configuration. NGINX Gateway Fabric requires a configured [gateway](https://gateway-api.sigs.k8s.io/api-types/gateway/#gateway) resource with a valid listener to listen on any ports.{{</important>}}
+
+NGINX Gateway Fabric uses the created service to update the **Addresses** field in the **Gateway Status** resource. Using a **LoadBalancer** service sets this field to the IP address and/or hostname of that service. Without a service, the pod IP address is used.
+
+This gateway is associated with the NGINX Gateway Fabric through the **gatewayClassName** field. The default installation of NGINX Gateway Fabric creates a **GatewayClass** with the name **nginx**. NGINX Gateway Fabric will only configure gateways with a **gatewayClassName** of **nginx** unless you change the name via the `--gatewayclass` [command-line flag]({{< ref "/ngf/reference/cli-help.md#static-mode">}}).
