website: remove legacy provider docs index (#29134)

* website: Update or remove references to legacy provider docs

We've finally evicted the last of the legacy provider docs from terraform.io!
Let's celebrate by purging all memory of them.

The 0.11 docs are now so thoroughly legacy that I don't believe they need a new
destination for their provider links, so I just removed those.

* website: remove old provider docs index

This will require a redirect in the terraform-website repo.

* Apply suggestions from code review

## Provider Documentation
Each provider has its own documentation, describing its resource
types and their arguments.
The [Terraform Registry](https://registry.terraform.io/browse/providers)
includes documentation for a wide range of providers developed by HashiCorp, third-party vendors, and our Terraform community. Use the
"Documentation" link in a provider's header to browse its documentation.
Provider documentation in the Registry is versioned; you can use the version
menu in the header to change which version you're viewing.
