Removes 67 live references to docs/requirements/<NNN>-*.md files across
43 contributor docs, role READMEs, code comments, task files, and tests.
Requirement docs are initial-creation-only artefacts; live references
freeze a snapshot that rots once the per-feature SPOT (a contributor
doc, a code module, a lint test) takes over the live behaviour.
In the same pass, fixes documentation.md violations on the touched
files: drops em-dashes used as thought breaks, removes "SPOT for ..."
self-labels, strips historical phrasing ("the legacy", "previously",
"used to", "is no longer used", "matching the historical"), and
reflows soft-wrapped sentences so each sentence stays on one logical
line.
The `test_inventory_vars_file_spot.py` whitelist for the literal
inventory path drops the docs/requirements/003 entry and instead
skips docs/requirements/ entirely; future requirement docs that
mention the literal path are then ignored automatically.
Verified by tests/lint/repository/test_no_stale_requirement_refs.py
(green tree-wide).

Two intertwined changes that share the same touched files:
1. Move every meta-related integration test under
`tests/integration/roles/meta/` into one of three sibling
sub-clusters and shorten the redundant filename prefixes:
- `services/` — `test_services_dynamic_flags.py` →
`test_dynamic_flags.py`, `test_services_no_self_reference.py` →
`test_no_self_reference.py`. The `run_after` cluster moves
under it (it is a `meta/services.yml` concern, not a
stand-alone dependency one): `test_services_explicit.py` keeps
its name, the rest drop the redundant prefix.
- `variants/` — `test_variants_coverage.py` → `test_coverage.py`,
plus the two new lints `test_auth_coverage.py` (LDAP / OIDC /
OAuth2 matrix completeness) and `test_services_match.py`
(every variant override key MUST exist in `services.yml`).
- `dependencies/` — relocates the legacy
`tests/integration/roles/dependencies/` cluster so all
`meta/`-shaped tests live under one parent.
Path-index constants (`Path(__file__).resolve().parents[N]`,
`os.pardir` chains) updated for the deeper nesting.
2. Route every yaml read in the migrated tests through
`utils.cache.yaml`. The single-doc helper `load_yaml_any` covers
most of them; the new `load_yaml_all` mirrors `load_yaml_any` for
the multi-doc case (`yaml.safe_load_all`) and is keyed off the
same `(path, mtime, size)` signature, with parallel `_drop_path`
/ `_reset` housekeeping. `tests/lint/ansible/variables/
test_vars_usage_in_yaml.py` is the first user.
READMEs cleaned up to match the new directory structure (path
crosslinks, level-up counts) and four new READMEs added for the
new sub-clusters under the `docs/` README guidelines (RFC 2119,
emojis after headlines, no em dashes, no SPOT self-labels).
