Calvin bd4d5805dd Replace addr with ref in design docs (#6141 )

Updates the documentation under `docs/design/` to use `ref` instead of
`addr` after their removal in #5434. Care was taken to manually clean up
edge cases and, in a couple cases, surrounding text (see
3d72c49bb75c0f40ca7e8114b6a1369b941e1697). After this change, there are
no matches for `addr(?!ess)` in `docs/design/`.

Closes #6032

Generics

This directory contains the collection of documents describing the generics feature of Carbon:

Overview - A high-level description of the generics design, with pointers to other design documents that dive deeper into individual topics
Goals - The motivation and principles guiding the design direction
Terminology - A glossary establishing common terminology for describing the design
Detailed design - In-depth description
- Appendix: Coherence - Describes the rationale for Carbon's choice to have coherent generics, and the alternatives.
- Appendix: Rewrite constraints - Describes the detailed rules governing rewrite constraints, and why resolving them terminates.
- Appendix: Witness tables - Describes an implementation strategy for checked generics, and Carbon's rationale for only using it for dynamic dispatch.
