docs: previous doc versions all 404
Metadata
Current evaluation
Missing migration redirects were fixed: Charmcraft 4.2 documentation URLs now redirect to their corresponding 4.3 pages.
Resolution: closed resolved
Reason: Maintainer jahn-junior confirmed in the closing comment that redirects were added after the canonical.com migration, restoring all Charmcraft 4.2 documentation links to the corresponding 4.3 pages.

Issue body
I had e.g. this in my history:
https://canonical.com/juju/docs/charmcraft/4.2/reference/plugins/uv_plugin/
This now 404s, AFAICT because 4.3 was now released… but that breaks all references to previous documentation…
These should be brought back _or_ redirects should be in place that redirect to the latest supported version.
