Wiki: mark obsolete pages with banners (proposed diff included) #11852

Description

The wiki core is actively maintained (Home, the guides and the navigation docs were all updated this year), but a handful of pages still present 2016–2022 content as current, without any hint that it is obsolete. The riskiest examples: two complete CC3D setup howtos (F1 support was dropped in INAV 2.0) and a hand-maintained CLI variables list last updated around INAV 5.

I prepared a minimal, reviewable change — a two-line "outdated/obsolete" banner on top of six pages, each pointing at the current source, plus a replacement for launch-mode, which turned out to be an orphaned copy of the wiki sidebar with no launch content at all:

  • Howto:-CC3D-flight-controller… (both variants) — obsolete banner, link to the Fixed Wing Guide
  • OrangeRX-LRS-RX-and-OMNIBUS-F4 — historical-reference banner
  • Making-a-new-Virtualbox-to-make-your-own-INAV — points to Building custom firmware
  • iNav-CLI-variables — points to the auto-generated docs/Settings.md
  • Supported-boards — points to Target and Sensor support
  • launch-mode — orphaned sidebar copy replaced with pointers to Auto Launch (NAV_LAUNCH) and Fixed Wing Autolaunch

Wiki write access is restricted to collaborators (pushing a review branch was rejected), so below is the full diff against the current wiki master (e4ff6e0) for anyone with access to apply. Happy to adjust the wording.
