FlyingRatBull b399a374cb GitHub Action: Check local Markdown links on push (#2067)
Adds an GitHub Action to check all local (non http://, https:// ) links in all Markdown files of the repository for liveness.
Fails if a file is not found.

# Goal
This should help maintaining the quality of the documentation.

# Impact
Takes ~24 seconds currently and found 3 dead links (pull requests already created).

# Dependent PRs
* #2064 
* #2065 
* #2066

# Info
See [markdown-link-check](https://github.com/marketplace/actions/markdown-link-check).

# Example output
```
FILE: ./docs/profiling.md

1 links checked.

FILE: ./docs/plugins_guidelines.md

37 links checked.

FILE: ./docs/linters.md
[✖] ../.github/linters/markdown-lint.yml → Status: 400 [Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, access '/github/workspace/.github/linters/markdown-lint.yml'] {
  errno: -2,
  code: 'ENOENT',
  syscall: 'access',
  path: '/github/workspace/.github/linters/markdown-lint.yml'
}
```

# Improvements
* Can also be used to check external links, but fails because of:
  * Too many requests (429) responses:
```
FILE: ./CHANGELOG.md
[✖] https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/1762 → Status: 429
```
   * crates.io links respond 404
```
FILE: ./README.md
[✖] https://crates.io/crates/bevy → Status: 404
```

# Linters in this Repository
## Code Format Linting with [rustfmt](https://github.com/rust-lang/rustfmt)
Can be automatically validated with [`cargo run -p ci`](../tools/ci) (which also runs other checks). Running this command will actually format the code:
```bash
cargo fmt --all
```
## Code Linting with [Clippy](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-clippy)
Can be automatically run with [`cargo run -p ci`](../tools/ci) (which also runs other checks) or manually with this command:
```bash
cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets --all-features -- -D warnings -A clippy::type_complexity -A clippy::manual-strip
```
Explanation:
* `-D warnings`: No warnings are allowed in the codebase.
* `-A clippy::type_complexity`: type complexity must be ignored because we use huge templates for queries.
## [super-linter](https://github.com/github/super-linter)
`super-linter` provides easy access to many different Linters.
### [markdownlint](https://github.com/DavidAnson/markdownlint)
`markdownlint` is provided by `super-linter` and is responsible for `.md` files.
Its configuration is saved in the [.markdown-lint.yml](../.github/linters/.markdown-lint.yml) file.
The provided rules are documented [here](https://github.com/DavidAnson/markdownlint/blob/main/doc/Rules.md) and information about setting the config can be seen [here](https://github.com/DavidAnson/markdownlint#optionsconfig).
#### Using [VS Code markdownlint](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=DavidAnson.vscode-markdownlint)
If you want to use the VS Code Extension with the rules defined in [.markdown-lint.yml](../.github/linters/.markdown-lint.yml), then you need to create a local config file in the root of the project with the configuration below.
Currently, this is not needed as the extension already disables the rule `MD013` by default.
```json
{
"extends": ".github/linters/.markdown-lint.yml"
}
```
### Other Linters provided by [super-linter](https://github.com/github/super-linter)
All other linters not mentioned in the this file are not activated and can be seen [here](https://github.com/github/super-linter#supported-linters).
