What changes did you make? (Give an overview)

The docs pages extend/plugin-migration-flat-config#backwards-compatibility and extend/plugins#backwards-compatibility-for-legacy-configs both recommended different namings for legacy configurations.

While the former page called for a suffix -legacy, the latter recommends a prefix with legacy-.

The docs line recommending legacy- as prefix had a more recent commit (7 months vs 2 years) and both eslint-plugin-vitest and eslint-plugin-package-json use this naming, so I opted to keep this version.

Is there anything you'd like reviewers to focus on?

Please check whether the naming convention is the one you want to go with.
