sim 9bfe96e44d fix(ppc-manual): 543 dead links, from two generator bugs and wrong relative paths
- Category pages linked each family as `<slug>.md`, relative to categories/,
  where no family page lives. They now link `../<category>/<slug>.md`.
- Form pages linked a member into its *own* category directory, so every
  VMX128 sibling (`vsldoi128`) pointed at vmx128/ although its family page is
  under vmx/. They now link into the family's directory.
- Hand-written "Related" and sibling mentions linked other categories' pages
  as if they were in the same directory. 109 are retargeted through the page
  index; 29 that pointed a family page at itself (`vrefp128` on vrefp.md) and
  6 naming instructions the manual has no page for are plain text now.

Regenerated at the existing Canary pin (f21ebd49e): upstream has moved on, and
re-pinning belongs in its own change. The generator reports 0 family pages
changed and is idempotent; the only dead links left are TEMPLATE.md's
placeholders.

## Operation (pseudocode)
```
; No hand-written pseudocode for this instruction yet.
; The authoritative semantics are the Canary emitter snapshot under
; Implementation References; about half of Canary's emitters open
; with the PPC-style definition as a comment (`RD <- (RA) + (RB)`).
; Every side effect is also enumerated in the Register Effects and
; Status-Register Effects tables above.
```
## C Translation Example
```c
/* No hand-written C yet. Translate the Canary emitter snapshot */
/* under Implementation References; its HIR maps directly: */
/* f.LoadGPR(n) / f.StoreGPR(n, v) -> r[n] / r[n] = v */
/* f.LoadFPR / StoreFPR, f.LoadVR / StoreVR -> f[n], v[n] */
/* f.Load(ea, T), f.Store(ea, v) -> raw read / write; emitters */
/* wrap them in f.ByteSwap for the big-endian guest value */
/* f.UpdateCR(n, v) -> CR field n from v's LOW 32 BITS vs 0 */
/* f.LoadCA / f.StoreCA -> xer.CA; f.StoreSAT -> vscr.SAT */
/* i.XO.RA, i.D.DS, ... -> the bit-fields listed under Operands */
/* The Register Effects and Status-Register Effects tables above */
/* enumerate every side effect a faithful translation must emit. */

## Special Cases & Edge Conditions
- **Per-lane logical right-shift of words.** `VD.w[i] = VA.w[i] >> (VB.w[i] & 0x1F)` — zero-fill. Low 5 bits of each shift-count word honoured.
- **Per-lane shift counts.** Splat via [`vspltw`](vspltw.md) / [`vspltisw`](vspltisw.md) for uniform shifts.
- **Zero-fill.** Use [`vsraw`](vsraw.md) for sign-preserving right shift.
- **Big-endian word lanes.**
- **No flags, no VSCR.**
- **VMX128 sibling `vsrw128`.**
