docs: standardize all markdown links to use .md extension

Bulk-convert 553 internal links across 72 documentation files from
.html to .md extension. Markdown files now link to .md (rendered by
GitHub natively), while HTML <a> tags retain .html (for GitHub Pages).

 ModelMesh Lite ships with provider connectors for: **OpenAI** (`provider.openai.llm.v1`), **Gemini** (`provider.google.gemini.v1`), **OpenRouter** (`provider.openrouter.gateway.v1`), **Anthropic** (`anthropic.claude.v1`), **Groq** (`provider.groq.api.v1`), **DeepSeek** (`provider.deepseek.api.v1`), **Mistral** (`provider.mistral.api.v1`), **Together AI** (`provider.together.api.v1`), **xAI Grok** (`provider.xai.grok.v1`), **Cohere** (`provider.cohere.nlp.v1`), **Perplexity** (`provider.perplexity.search.v1`), **ElevenLabs** (`provider.elevenlabs.tts.v1`), **Azure Speech** (`provider.azure.tts.v1`), **AssemblyAI** (`provider.assemblyai.stt.v1`), **Tavily** (`provider.tavily.search.v1`), **Serper** (`provider.serper.search.v1`), **Jina** (`provider.jina.search.v1`), **Firecrawl** (`provider.firecrawl.search.v1`), **Ollama** (`ollama.local.v1`), **LM Studio** (`lmstudio.local.v1`), **vLLM** (`vllm.local.v1`), and **LocalAI** (`localai.local.v1`). Providers marked **(Planned)** below are not yet implemented.
 
 ### Provider Capability Format
 
-Provider connectors (OpenAI, Anthropic, and others) declare model capabilities using **dot-notation paths** that reference the [capability hierarchy](ModelCapabilities.html). Short-form capability names (`"chat"`, `"tools"`, `"vision"`) are no longer used; capabilities now map directly to tree nodes such as `generation.text-generation.chat-completion`. Features like tool calling, vision, and system prompt support are declared separately in a `features` dict.

All core components (Router, Pool, Mesh) and CDK base classes (BaseProvider) emit traces through the configured observability connector.
