update link checker test

[alexakreizinger]

this updates the link checker test to ignore 401, 403, and 429 error codes. (the other values in that argument are part of the link checker's default value.)

401 and 403 are ostensibly auth errors, but it seems like some non-auth pages return those statuses as an anti-scraper thing when the check runs--and even if they were genuine 401 or 403 errors, those don't indicate a broken link, just something that requires login. 429 also seems like an anti-scraper defense mechanism. in any case, they're not 404 errors or other status that indicate a genuine broken link :)

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Chores
  • Updated link checker workflow to accept a broader range of HTTP status codes (including informational and additional success/error codes), enable verbose output, disable progress display, and run from the workflow root for clearer, more comprehensive link validation.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Updates the Lychee link-checker invocation in the GitHub Actions workflow to pass explicit CLI arguments: expand allowed HTTP status codes (100..=103, 200..=299, 401, 403, 429), enable verbose output, disable progress display, and set the working directory to the workflow root (trailing dot).

Poem

🐰 I hop the links both near and far,
Verbose I sing beneath each star,
Wider codes I kindly greet,
No progress bar beneath my feet,
Rooted here — the workflow's neat! 🥕✨

In @.github/workflows/linkcheck.yaml:
- Line 23: The workflow step using the args string currently targets
'./**/*.mdx' which matches no files; update the glob in that args value (the
string passed to the linkcheck action) to include Markdown files, e.g. replace
'./**/*.mdx' with a glob that matches .md (and optionally .mdx) such as
'./**/*.md' or './**/*.{md,mdx}', keeping the existing --accept flags and other
options intact so link checking runs again.
