docs: fix readme links for cypress documentation restructuring

[MikeMcC399]

Issue

Some links to https://on.cypress.io/, used in the README document, no longer bring up the intended content.

The site https://docs.cypress.io/ was restructured in October 2024 and the use of https://on.cypress.io/ links has not redirected all links to approprate replacement content.

Change

In the README document, replace links to https://on.cypress.io/ that are not showing required content, using either other https://on.cypress.io/ links or instead https://docs.cypress.io/ with appropriate pages and bookmarks.

Verification

npm ci
npx markdown-link-check README.md

Thank you for fixing these @MikeMcC399! I think we want to keep the links using to on.cypress.io but correct the route. These suggestions should still work.

Thank you for the review and suggestions!

I was unsure what to do with deep links. There is no externally viewable documentation about the right way to link to the docs site and the repro for on.cypress.io isn't accessible externally either, so I can't see what redirects have been set up.

Completely understand. A lot of those links are managed internally, hence why I figured I could provide the recommendations so you aren't in the dark 😃
