Draft: Github Action: Continuous integration to check link validity.

[olivierodo]

Background

The wiki is a valuable tool for centralizing information, but it faces a unique challenge that can impact the user experience - Broken external links.

While the links are valid at the time of the wiki commit, their state can become broken in the coming months due to factors outside of our control. This issue is compounded by the large number of links present in the wiki, making it difficult to proactively monitor and maintain them all.

Addressing this challenge is crucial for preserving the integrity and usability of the wiki. By treating external links as a managed state, we can ensure a reliable and consistent user experience, even as the broader web landscape evolves.

This pull request aims to introduce a solution that will help us better control and maintain the state of external links within the wiki, enhancing its long-term viability and value to our users.

Change description

Leverage Github action to have continuous integration flow in order to check all the links while a new pull request or a commit on the main branch is performed.

After running the Github action on my personal fork I was able to spot a total of 29 links that was broken... So of them are also false positive.
