Series ref-manual: organize all recipes-* directories under subdirectory | expand

Commit Message

Robert P. J. Day June 22, 2026, 8:29 p.m. UTC
It's cumbersome to list all meta/recipes-* directories under the same
level as other meta/ directories, so place them under a recipes-*
higher-level directory.
