ignore link errors for release-agnostic manpages URLs

edibotopic · edibotopic · commit fbaf62f3c807 · 2025-03-11T10:03:07.000Z
we are using a release-agnostic link to manpages, which auto-redirects
to the latest release at a different URL.

this causes erroneous linkcheck errors that we should ignore.
