Subject: [PATCH 1/2] release-notes/index.md: convert legacy HTMLBlock to
 markdown
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The Roku OS 7.5–2.4 section was wrapped in a JSX <HTMLBlock> template
literal, which kept ReadMe's markdown processor from rendering the
[text](doc:slug) links inside (~104 unrendered links). Convert the block
to plain markdown matching the upper-half style.

Also clean up legacy Confluence artifacts in the converted section:
- Replace dead .html and /pages/createpage.action links with their v2
  doc: equivalents where they exist (drop where no v2 doc).
- Link the roDeviceInfo "Added Function" entries in OS 6.1 to their
  ifDeviceInfo anchors where the function still ships.

Heading slugs change from the old Confluence form (roku-os-7-5) to
ReadMe's auto-generated form (roku-os-75) — inbound links are
repointed in the next commit.

This entails integrating the following APIs included in this release:
   * The [**roAppManager.StartVoiceActionSelectionRequest()**](/docs/references/brightscript/interfaces/ifappmanager.md#startvoiceactionselectionrequest-as-void) function can be called upon app launch to trigger a voice request for the viewer to select a user profile on devices that are paired with a hands-free Roku Voice remote control.

[The "rsg_version=1.2" manifest entry](/docs/developer-program/getting-started/architecture/channel-manifest.md#special-purpose-attributes)  enables a new internal mechanism for processing component \<script> tags that optimizes the resulting compiled script code. This results in a major reduction in the app's initial startup time and uses dramatically less memory while preserving total compatibility. Initial startup time is typically reduced by approximately 30% when this manifest flag is set. Memory savings range from 10 - 20MiB in a moderately complex app, with up to 40MiB saved in a complex app with extensive component hierarchies.

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] Repoint release-notes inbound links to new auto-generated
 slugs
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The legacy HTMLBlock section used Confluence-style heading IDs
(roku-os-7-5, roku-os-3-0, etc.). Converting those headings to plain
markdown lets ReadMe auto-generate the slug, which drops the dash
between digits (roku-os-75, roku-os-30) — matching the upper-half
section's convention.

Update the 20 doc:release-notes#roku-os-X-Y inbound references across
13 files to use the new slug form.
