Use mkdocs features to avoid manually configuring nav:

[butler54]

Issue description / feature objectives

Manually configuring nav: for mkdocs is an anti-pattern. It creates inconsistency and removes part of the value of mkdocs - implicit naming based on directory structures.

Rework the automation specifically for the api docs and use mkdocs-awesome-pages to create selective overrides for just what is required.

Caveats / Assumptions

• Documentation content should not be changed

Completion Criteria

• nav: is removed
• content is not changed
