This commit adds an initial entry to the policy configuration section, covering the information around attack signatures. Previously the instructions and reference information were available separately on the same page, which I have now grouped together logically. I'm not entirely convinced this will remain the best possible layout, but it works as an MVP for a vertical slice.

Proposed changes
This pull request represents a large amount of documentation changes for F5 WAF for NGINX.
It is the creation of a new documentation set on the path
/waf/, replacing/nap-waf: this reflects the change from the product name of NGINX App Protect WAF to F5 WAF for NGINX. The product name itself has also been changed across the entire NGINX documentation website.Instructions and reference material have been grouped together into high-level use case sections, making it easier for users to navigate and find relevant information. All content moved this way has been rewritten to some extent to match contemporary NGINX writing standards.
The other major change to how documentation is written and structured reflects the new uniform naming conventions for versions, and abolishment of V4 and V5 distinction, instead focusing framing of content and structure of pages around the use case permutation for a deployment.
The historic release notes (Now named the "Changelog" like other NGINX products) have been kept in their previous state for reference. The totality of these changes also include the F5 WAF for NGINX 5.9 release, which has early availability features.
