Remove directory rest api from index and sitemap. clarify contacts/programs/modules api refs

[aelmanaa]

This pull request updates the CCIP documentation to clarify the distinction between on-chain contract/program interfaces and HTTP REST APIs, and to communicate the planned deprecation of the CCIP Directory REST API (v1) in favor of the newer CCIP Tools REST API (v2). It also improves naming consistency, platform references, and the organization of API reference materials throughout the documentation.

The most important changes are:

Deprecation and API Guidance Updates:

• Added clear deprecation notices for the CCIP Directory REST API (v1) in OpenAPI specs, Postman collections, and documentation, and directed users to the CCIP Tools REST API (v2) for new integrations. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6]
• Updated the sitemap generation logic in astro.config.ts to exclude the v1 interactive docs page, preventing it from competing with the v2 API in search and sitemaps.

Documentation Structure and Naming:

• Renamed and clarified section titles and descriptions for the on-chain API reference pages (EVM, Solana/SVM, Aptos, TON) to emphasize they are for contracts and program interfaces, not HTTP APIs. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]
• Updated links and references throughout the docs and LLM prompt files to use consistent, platform-specific naming (e.g., "Solana" instead of "SVM", "Move module interfaces" for Aptos, etc.). [1] [2] [3]

CCIP Tools Documentation Improvements:

• Renamed "CCIP API, SDK & CLI" sections and references to "CCIP Tools API, SDK & CLI" for clarity and consistency with the v2 API branding. [1] [2]

Content and Reference Updates:

• Improved descriptions and organization of reference sections, making a clear separation between on-chain interfaces and off-chain HTTP APIs, and updating all relevant links and section headers. [1] [2]

These changes make the documentation clearer for users, reduce confusion between v1/v2 APIs, and help guide developers toward the recommended integration paths.
