Summary

  • Retarget Simplicity Studio 5 documentation links and product names to the latest Simplicity Studio (SSv6) user guide
  • Update contributing and Bluetooth getting-started / how-to pages so they no longer assume Simplicity Studio 5

Test plan

  • Confirm .github/CONTRIBUTING.md and sld213 point at the SSv6 overview
  • Spot-check the remaining updated Bluetooth pages for leftover Simplicity Studio 5 / SSv5 / simplicity-studio-5-users-guide links
  • Confirm this PR targets doccurator/26q2p2 on SiliconLabsSoftware/docs-bluetooth

**Network Analyzer**: Simplicity Studio® 5 (SSv5)'s Network Analyzer enables debugging of complex wireless systems. This tool captures a trace of wireless network activity that can be examined in detail live or at a later time. See the [Simplicity Studio User's Guide Network Analyzer section](https://docs.silabs.com/simplicity-studio-5-users-guide/latest/ss-5-users-guide-tools-network-analyzer/) of the Simplicity Studio 5 User's Guide for more information.

Download instructions are provided for [Windows/Mac users](https://www.wireshark.org/download.html) or [Linux users](https://www.wireshark.org/docs/wsug_html_chunked/ChBuildInstallUnixInstallBins.html).

I do not see Wireshark details in SS6 User Guide. Can you provide the link from SS6 that should be updated here?

I did not find SLC-CLI details in SS6 guide. In SS5, this is the link:
https://docs.silabs.com/simplicity-studio-5-users-guide/latest/ss-5-users-guide-tools-slc-cli/
What is the right link from SS6?

Several things on this page will have to be checked and updated. The Paths may have changed in studio 6 so replacing v5 with v6 will not be sufficient here.
