Broken links are no longer surfaced by anything

[Josh-Cena]

Summary

After #12045, there's nothing that helps us catch broken links.

URL

As one example: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers

Reproduction steps

Run yarn build

Expected behavior

Get a flaw for that page about "can't resolve Origin-Isolation"

Actual behavior

No flaws reported. Not only that, but because now Yari doesn't emit href for broken links any more, even my own https://jc-verse.github.io/mdn-graph/warnings cannot catch this. I'm considering whether I need to report all links with a.page-not-created but then I'll be unable to tell its possible location.

From both a UX and SEO perspective, not linking to HTTP 404s is a significant improvement, but you make a good point.

What if we added the href back as data-href?

Dure, that would work great
