Pull Request Overview
This PR modernizes the .NET documentation by removing outdated COMPLUS_ prefix references, given that the DOTNET_ prefix was introduced 4 years ago in .NET 6. The changes simplify documentation maintenance while preserving a note for .NET Framework users.
Key changes:
- Removes the complus-prefix.md include file that was used across multiple documentation pages
- Updates environment variable tables to show only DOTNET_ prefix (removes COMPLUS_ entries)
- Adds environment variable indexes to two key documentation sections for easier navigation
- Adds inline note about .NET Framework continuing to use COMPLUS_ prefix
