Fix broken links. I've received general feedback that using wayback machine is the right way to go.

Generally, I use the latest version that's available, including redirects. In a few cases, there's no such page on wayback machine either, and I have to remove the link. In a few other places there are better places to link to.

The diffs look good. I cherry-picked quite a few without any issues. I also ran through a lot of the links in the external URLs section from the review companion to check, and this all looks good from my side.

Thanks a lot for the fixes 👍🏻
