[DOCS] Fix tokenizer page titles () ()
Changes the titles for tokenizer pages to sentence case.

Also moves the 'Path hierarchy tokenizer examples' page within the
'Path hierarchy tokenizer' page and adds a related redirect.

=== Simple pattern tokenizer
++++
<titleabbrev>Simple pattern</titleabbrev>
++++
The `simple_pattern` tokenizer uses a regular expression to capture matching
text as terms. The set of regular expression features it supports is more
limited than the <<analysis-pattern-tokenizer,`pattern`>> tokenizer, but the
tokenization is generally faster.
This tokenizer does not support splitting the input on a pattern match, unlike
the <<analysis-pattern-tokenizer,`pattern`>> tokenizer. To split on pattern
matches using the same restricted regular expression subset, see the
<<analysis-simplepatternsplit-tokenizer,`simple_pattern_split`>> tokenizer.
This tokenizer uses {lucene-core-javadoc}/org/apache/lucene/util/automaton/RegExp.html[Lucene regular expressions].
For an explanation of the supported features and syntax, see <<regexp-syntax,Regular Expression Syntax>>.
The default pattern is the empty string, which produces no terms. This
tokenizer should always be configured with a non-default pattern.

=== Configuration
The `simple_pattern` tokenizer accepts the following parameters:
[horizontal]
`pattern`::
{lucene-core-javadoc}/org/apache/lucene/util/automaton/RegExp.html[Lucene regular expression], defaults to the empty string.
[float]
=== Example configuration
This example configures the `simple_pattern` tokenizer to produce terms that are
three-digit numbers
