This eliminates redundant user documentation and allows us to focus our
documentation investments.
I left tombstone files for most of the existing ".md" docs files to
avoid broken links. These now contain brief links to the developers docs
site.

## Summary
- update documentation, example configs, and automation defaults to
reference gpt-5.1 / gpt-5.1-codex
- bump the CLI and core configuration defaults, model presets, and error
messaging to the new models while keeping the model-family/tool coverage
for legacy slugs
- refresh tests, fixtures, and TUI snapshots so they expect the upgraded
defaults
## Testing
- `cargo test -p codex-core
config::tests::test_precedence_fixture_with_gpt5_profile`

Task](https://chatgpt.com/codex/tasks/task_i_6916c5b3c2b08321ace04ee38604fc6b)
This updates `codex exec` so that, by default, most of the agent's
activity is written to stderr so that only the final agent message is
written to stdout. This makes it easier to pipe `codex exec` into
another tool without extra filtering.
I introduced `#![deny(clippy::print_stdout)]` to help enforce this
change and renamed the `ts_println!()` macro to `ts_msg()` because (1)
it no longer calls `println!()` and (2), `ts_eprintln!()` seemed too
long of a name.
While here, this also adds `-o` as an alias for `--output-last-message`.
