docs: replace 'prune modes' with 'pruning modes' (grammatical fix) (#21689)

Grammatical fix: "pruning modes" is more correct than "prune modes".

Applied across all existing documentation files. New documentation pages
already use the correct term.

Also renames `prune-modes.md` → `pruning-modes.md` and updates all
internal links to match.
