Mark the App Center iOS Distribution / Android Distribute steps and the App Center Migration Tool as deprecated, following the pattern already applied to App Center CodePush: - add unlisted: true to the front matter - add a deprecation admonition referencing Microsoft's retirement notice - remove the entries from the parent index pages Also point the two historical release-note links at the pages directly, since the index anchors they used no longer exist.

Summary
Visual Studio App Center was retired on March 31, 2025, but three App Center pages were still listed and presented as usable. This applies the same deprecation pattern already used for App Center CodePush to the remaining pages.
Linear: CSM-569
Changes
For each of the three pages below: added
unlisted: trueto the front matter, added a:::dangerdeprecation admonition referencing Microsoft's retirement notice, and removed the entry from its parentindex.md.workflows/ios-specific-workflow-steps/appcenter-ios-distribution.mdworkflows/android-specific-workflow-steps/app-center-android-distribution.mdappcircle-api-and-cli/appcenter-migration-tool.mdThe two workflow-step admonitions point users to Appcircle's own distribution modules (Testing Distribution / Enterprise App Store / Publish).
Additionally, the two historical release-note entries for the App Center distribution steps linked to index-page anchors that no longer exist after the entries were removed, so they now link to the pages directly.
Notes
unlisted: truekeeps the URLs working (no 404 for existing/external links) while removing them from the sidebar, sitemap and search, matching the CodePush precedent.netlify.tomlredirects needed: no URL changed.release-notes.mdhas no new "Breaking Changes" entry for this deprecation; add one under the appropriate version if the team wants it announced.Review checklist
