broken web services link in whatNWISdata documentation #682

Describe the bug The waterservices documentation was recently updated, and it appears that the URLs have changed. I found one example in the documentation for ?whatNWISdata, which is now broken. The correct URL for the site service is now: https://waterservices.usgs.gov/docs/site-service/site-service-details/. One option is to dial back the level of resolution in the URL to just waterservices.usgs.gov, which should be stable. The documentation could direct users to the specific service without including it in the URL link.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:


library(dataRetrieval)
?whatNWISdata
```r
click on waterservices link

**Expected behavior**
The site service info page should load. Correct URL: https://waterservices.usgs.gov/docs/site-service/site-service-details/
