Both features carry the word "parallel" but are orthogonal, which reads as a conflict. Lead the Parallel Checks page with "speculative" (the term the API and activity log already use) and add mirror disambiguation notes on Parallel Checks and Queue Modes: parallel checks are speculative CI within a single ordered queue, parallel mode is scope-based independent queues, and the two compose. Also repoint two stale /merge-queue/parallel-scopes links to the renamed queue-modes page. Change-Id: Id0ac2739191e4984293c3d970ebdbad5d5b3ba92

Pull request overview
This PR clarifies the terminology collision between “parallel checks” and “parallel mode” in the merge queue docs by introducing “speculative” framing for checks and adding mutual disambiguation notes. It also updates stale internal links to point at the renamed Queue Modes page.
Changes:
- Reframes “Parallel Checks” as speculative queue validation and adds a note distinguishing it from parallel mode.
- Adds a corresponding disambiguation note on the Queue Modes page (parallel mode vs. parallel checks).
- Updates links from the removed
/merge-queue/parallel-scopespath to/merge-queue/queue-modesanchors.

Both features carry the word "parallel" but are orthogonal, which reads
as a conflict. Lead the Parallel Checks page with "speculative" (the term
the API and activity log already use) and add mirror disambiguation notes
on Parallel Checks and Queue Modes: parallel checks are speculative CI
within a single ordered queue, parallel mode is scope-based independent
queues, and the two compose.
Also repoint two stale /merge-queue/parallel-scopes links to the renamed
queue-modes page.
