Automatioc check for broken links in documentation about lvgl HOT 5 OPEN

I was running docs.lvgl.io through a dead link checker website. It stopped after 2000 checks and found 367 dead links. Most of them are coming from the Edit on GitHub button on the API pages. E.g. https://docs.lvgl.io/master/API/layouts/grid/lv_grid.html
@kdschlosser can we do something with that?

Of course there where some good findings too.

With a script we can have a good control about what to check and what not. E.g. do not go to back to release/v7.11.

They used to all work. I know there were changes made to that part of the documentation generation when the MicroPython stuff was removed. IDK what was done when that happened. I am going to have to go back into the commits and dig out the old code that got changed....

checking links is not that hard to do and it is able to be done at the documentation generation level by doing a recursive check against the generated HTML output using regex to collect the links and then using Python requests to see if the link works. This is able to be done using threads and have each thread check like 20 links. I can also spread it out across the available cores as well.

Both are cool! Thanks! If you already know how to approach it, please open a PR.
