Updates 22 links from the old support.system76.com/articles/<slug> form to https://system76.com/support/<slug>/.

Why

The old URLs redirect twice before reaching the article: support.system76.com/articles/<slug> goes to system76.com/support/articles/<slug>, then to system76.com/support/<slug>. Linking the final URL removes both hops.

One of them also showed up in the Ahrefs Site Audit. /support/articles/install-pop/ is flagged as a redirect that still receives organic traffic, and the link in thelio-major-b1-b2-r1-r2/repairs.mdx was feeding it.
