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

/* 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 / vspltisw for uniform shifts.
  • Zero-fill. Use vsraw for sign-preserving right shift.
  • Big-endian word lanes.
  • No flags, no VSCR.
  • VMX128 sibling vsrw128.
  • vsraw — arithmetic-right word.
  • vslw — logical-left word.
  • vrlw — word rotate.
  • vsrb, vsrh — byte / half-word logical-right.
