Create warning if website is not accessible #590

Describe the feature you'd like to see

Sometimes, a couple of data websites are down/ not working. Often the error message is not really clear with this.

Suggestion:

Let's add a function in _helpers.py to create a warning if the page is not accessible
Further, we could add a table tracking the status of all website in the documentation if needed

Linked with #910 and #914.

A status check for GADM server has been added by #890. All other data downloads are being back-upped by an exception warning which gives details on which urls are being not responsive. Basically, the issue is fixed now, but I think it's worth to keep it open during set-up of a more stable databundle configuration.
