docs: fix staged broken links

[kheiss-uwzoo]

Summary

• Remove dead pre-26.03 release-note links while those pages are being archived.
• Update the Pinecone vector-store reference to the current public pinecone-io/nvidia-rag repository.

Test plan

• mkdocs build -f mkdocs.yml --strict
• Verified remaining/replacement external URLs return HTTP 200
• Ran focused PR scope check for the two docs files

Greptile Summary

This PR fixes two categories of broken documentation links: it removes dead hyperlinks for pre-26.03 release notes that are currently being archived (replacing them with plain-text version entries and an explanatory notice), and it updates the Pinecone vector-store reference to point to the current pinecone-io/nvidia-rag repository and document path.

• releasenotes.md: Nine version links (26.1.2 through 24.12.0) are converted to unlinked plain text; the 26.03 link is retained. A note explains the archive is in progress.
• vdbs.md: The Pinecone row is updated from the deprecated pinecone-io/nvidia-pinecone-rag repository to pinecone-io/nvidia-rag, with the document path corrected to docs/pinecone-configuration.md — confirmed live at the time of this review.

Confidence Score: 5/5

Documentation-only change that removes broken links and updates one external URL; no code, schema, or configuration is touched.

Both changed files are Markdown documentation. The new Pinecone URL (pinecone-io/nvidia-rag / docs/pinecone-configuration.md) was verified to return HTTP 200 and matches the repository's current public structure. The archiving notice in releasenotes.md accurately describes why the older version links are temporarily missing. There is nothing here that could regress runtime behavior.

No files require special attention.

Important Files Changed

Filename	Overview
docs/docs/extraction/releasenotes.md	Converts broken pre-26.03 release-note links to plain text entries and adds an archiving notice; the 26.03 link is preserved.
docs/docs/extraction/vdbs.md	Updates the Pinecone vector-store reference from the deprecated pinecone-io/nvidia-pinecone-rag repo to the current pinecone-io/nvidia-rag repo with the correct document path.
