Enhancement: Auto-fix non-matching Hub URL for items without a data page

[eneemann]

The index validation script flags items that have a URL slug that doesn't match the hub name. For instances where the item does not have a data page (often externally-hosted data), I think we can auto-fix the URL by just applying the non-matched slug.

For example, here the Cattle Guards layer has a "-1" in the URL. Currently the index validation script identifies this, but the index uses the URL without the "-1", which doesn't work. If it simply used the "-1" URL instead, it would work.

I think this is a good idea only for external orgs. That implies pages we cannot fix. There may be a bit of whack a mole if the agency decides to fix this or continues to publish in a way that increments the number.

But would the index detect the change an apply it, in that case?

You'd hope so. I can't think through all of the use cases. For instance, can there be valid -1, -2, and -3's? Either way it's probably better than publishing a broken link.
