Fix a broken link and check internal links (#2195)
In #2153 I aimed to fix a link but broke it.
In this PR, I fix it and add
[`mdbook-linkcheck`](https://github.com/Michael-F-Bryan/mdbook-linkcheck)
to avoid future cases.

Some past fixes that could have been prevented, in addition to mine in
this PR:
* #811
* #2064
* #2146

Note:  
`mdbook-linkcheck` may also check external links with a configuration
change.
It can be beneficial to check also external links from time to time. I
ran it here and found 3 broken links.

Maintainers - sorry for the lack of a preceding issue. We can discuss it
here.
Some remaining work is to fix the outdated internal links in the
translations, not done here.
Let me know what you think about the proposed contribution.

This PR completes #1502.

This repository has the source code for Comprehensive Rust 🦀, a multi-day Rust
course developed by the Android team. The course covers all aspects of Rust,
from basic syntax to generics and error handling. It also includes deep dives on
[Android], [Chromium], [bare-metal], and [concurrency].
[Android]: https://google.github.io/comprehensive-rust/android.html
[Chromium]: https://google.github.io/comprehensive-rust/chromium.html
[bare-metal]: https://google.github.io/comprehensive-rust/bare-metal.html
[concurrency]: https://google.github.io/comprehensive-rust/concurrency.html
Read the course at **https://google.github.io/comprehensive-rust/**.
## Course Format and Target Audience
The course is used internally at Google when teaching Rust to experienced
software engineers. They typically have a background in C++ or Java.
The course is taught in a classroom setting and we hope it will be useful for
others who want to teach Rust to their team. The course will be less useful for
self-study since you miss out on the discussions happening in the classroom. You
don't see the questions and answers and you don't see the compiler errors we
trigger when going through the code samples. We hope to improve on this via
[speaker notes](https://github.com/google/comprehensive-rust/issues/53) and by
[publishing videos](https://github.com/google/comprehensive-rust/issues/52).

## Building
The course is built using a few tools:
- [mdbook](https://github.com/rust-lang/mdBook)
- [mdbook-svgbob](https://github.com/boozook/mdbook-svgbob)
- [mdbook-i18n-helpers and i18n-report](https://github.com/google/mdbook-i18n-helpers)
- [mdbook-exerciser](mdbook-exerciser/)
- [mdbook-course](mdbook-course/)
In addition,
[mdbook-linkcheck](https://github.com/Michael-F-Bryan/mdbook-linkcheck) checks
the internal links.
First install Rust by following the instructions on https://rustup.rs/. Then
clone this repository:
```shell
git clone https://github.com/google/comprehensive-rust/
cd comprehensive-rust
```
Then install these tools with:
```shell
cargo install mdbook
cargo install --locked mdbook-svgbob
cargo install --locked mdbook-i18n-helpers
cargo install --locked i18n-report
cargo install --locked mdbook-linkcheck
cargo install --locked --path mdbook-exerciser
cargo install --locked --path mdbook-course
```
Run
```shell
mdbook test
```
to test all included Rust snippets. Run
```shell
mdbook serve
```
to start a web server with the course. You'll find the content on
<http://localhost:3000>. You can use `mdbook build` to create a static version
of the course in the `book/` directory. Note that you have to separately build
and zip exercises and add them to `book/html`. To build any of the translated
versions of the course, run `MDBOOK_BOOK__LANGUAGE=xx mdbook build -d book/xx`
where `xx` is the ISO 639 language code (e.g. `da` for the Danish translation).
[TRANSLATIONS.md](TRANSLATIONS.md) contains further instructions.
> **Note** On Windows, you need to enable symlinks
> (`git config --global core.symlinks true`) and Developer Mode.
