Do not call the product ".NET Aspire" in consumer-facing brand or marketing content.

This PR renames everything to Aspire, with hyperlinks keeping existing links/bookmarks alive.

Pull request overview

This PR updates the Data API builder docs to align with Microsoft branding guidance by renaming consumer-facing references from “.NET Aspire” to “Aspire”, while preserving existing deep links via redirection.

Changes:

• Renamed “.NET Aspire” to “Aspire” across MCP quickstarts, navigation (TOC/landing pages), feature tables, and related documentation references.
• Updated the MCP Aspire quickstart to use the new quickstart-aspire media asset paths (diagram + dashboard screenshots).
• Added a redirection rule so requests to the previous quickstart-dotnet-aspire.md path continue to resolve to the Aspire quickstart.

Reviewed changes

Copilot reviewed 10 out of 13 changed files in this pull request and generated no comments.
