Description

With thanks to @dreis2211 for bringing it to my attention, the change from htmlsingle to html5 in Spring Security 5.3 has broken some documentation links. It'd be nice if existing links to https://docs.spring.io/spring-security/site/docs/current/reference/htmlsingle/ would continue to work. It'd also be nice if you could take any 5.2.x link and change it to 5.3.x and not get a 404.

Research direction

Start by comparing the documented Spring Security 5.2.x and 5.3.x URL patterns, especially the htmlsingle and html5 paths cited in the issue. Done means existing htmlsingle links continue to resolve and changing a 5.2.x link to 5.3.x does not produce a 404.
