What changed

This drops the"Data-Only Hotspot" distinction on Hotspots, reframing onboarding around the two
methods that exist today.

New section: "Onboard a Hotspot"

Replaces the old Data-Only Hotspots and Gateway Fleet Onboarding sections with one section:

  • Overview/iot/onboard-a-hotspot
  • On-Device (gateway-rs)/iot/onboard-a-hotspot/on-device (single Hotspot or a few)
  • On a Server (multi-gateway)/iot/onboard-a-hotspot/server + Server Setup (fleets)
  • Packet Forwarder Setup/iot/packet-forwarders/{dragino,rak-concentrators,balena,kerlink}

Other changes

  • Redirects added from every old slug (/iot/data-only-hotspots, /iot/data-only-hotspots-onboarding,
    /iot/gateway-fleet-onboarding, /iot/gateway-fleet-onboarding/setup, /iot/data-only/*) and the
    inbound redirects that targeted them are repointed.
  • Token fee table collapsed to a single IoT onboarding fee: $0.50 to add + $0.50 to assert.
  • Generalized Proof-of-Coverage wording in the oracle and Solana data docs. Mobile PoC references are
    intentionally left intact (PoC still applies to the Mobile network).

Verification

  • yarn build passes with onBrokenLinks: 'throw', so all internal links, sidebar entries, and the
    new routes resolve.

Follow-up (not in this PR)

  • The two onboarding header banners still have "Data-Only" text baked into the PNGs
    (data-only-header.png, data-only-onboarding-header.png). New artwork to be supplied separately;
    the page references were left pointing at the existing files.

Replace the Data-Only Hotspot and Gateway Fleet sections with one "Onboard a Hotspot" section covering on-device (gateway-rs) and on-a-server (multi-gateway) methods. Add redirects from the old slugs.
Collapse the IoT onboarding fee to a single $0.50 add + $0.50 assert, and generalize Proof-of-Coverage mentions in the oracle and Solana data docs.

Distinguish the two methods by where the gateway software and signing key run (gateway-rs on the device vs multi-gateway on a server). Present the CLI wallet add + assert as the universal on-chain onboarding on both pages.
