Add method to attempt to fix broken roos #3

Closed kittsville closed 7 years ago

This could end up being a big topic (using archive.org etc.) but for now I'm just interesting in roos that have linked to the wrong comment. This means the real target roo exists and is nearby but was not directly linked to.

This could involve creating a list of all nearby comments and looking for any that contain links and text similar to "Ah the old", "aroo", "a-roo" etc.

Broken roo links should be marked so in the roo_link's properties so that they can be displayed differently on the front-end (e.g. a dotted red line).

The Pushshift Reddit API should be very useful here.
