Update automation to check links #2346

Open rtoy opened 3 years ago

Describe the Issue When creating a PR, many broken links were found.

It would be really nice if Travis CI (or something) would check for broken links. A quick Google search found this: https://github.com/biopython/biopython.github.io/issues/62.

This would be useful so that no broken links get added in a PR due to a typo, and also lets us know if links have changed since the last time CI was run.

One issue: the spec is really big with lots of links. It takes a long time for the W3C link checker to run (many minutes).

The W3C link checker is throttled so as to not overload any one server. And yes, for a big spec it takes ages to complete.

We will consider having a local link checker.
