Fixes #20155

Which issue does this PR close?

Closes #20155

Rationale for this change

The upgrade guide was one giant page with all versions. When you search for something like "Aggregate", you get results from multiple versions and can't tell if you're looking at v46 or v44 changes.

What changes are included in this PR?

Split upgrading.md into separate files - one per version. Created an upgrading/ directory with an index similar to how user-guide/sql/ is organized.

Are these changes tested?

Built the docs locally with make html. Each version now gets its own page and ctrl-F works within that version only.

Are there any user-facing changes?

Yes - upgrade guides are now separate pages instead of one long page. Makes it easier to find version-specific info.

Fixes apache#20155

Split the single upgrading.md file into separate pages for each version
to improve navigation and make ctrl-F search more useful. Previously all
upgrade guides were on one page, making it difficult to determine which
version was being viewed when searching for specific terms.

Changes:
- created docs/source/library-user-guide/upgrading/ directory
- split upgrading.md into separate files (46.0.0.md through 53.0.0.md)
- added index.rst to list all upgrade guide pages
- updated main index.rst to reference upgrading/index
- fixed internal links in api-health.md and 49.0.0.md

I don't know how to test this, but I see the separate files so LGTM
