ENG-6652: Add dead link checker to dev deployment workflow (#1486)

* Add dead link checker to dev deployment workflow

- Create comprehensive dead link checker script that crawls the deployed site
- Check both internal and external links for HTTP status codes
- Add step to deploy-dev workflow to run after deployment
- Fail deployment if dead links are found
- Handle false positives from Google Fonts and Twitter bot detection

* Fix CodeQL security vulnerability and remove page limit

- Fix incomplete URL substring sanitization by using proper domain validation for Twitter/X links
- Remove 200 page limit to crawl ALL pages as requested
- Change max_pages default to None for unlimited crawling
- Update workflow to use unlimited page crawling
- Use uv pip instead of pip for consistency

* Add sitemap discovery to dead link checker

- Check for sitemap.xml first before falling back to breadth-first crawling
- Parse XML sitemap using standard sitemap protocol
- Maintain backward compatibility with existing crawling approach
- Improve efficiency when sitemap is available

* Fix sitemap XML namespace parsing for HTTPS

- Update XML namespace from http to https to match actual sitemap format
- Remove debug output now that sitemap discovery is working correctly
- Sitemap now properly discovers and uses 383+ URLs for efficient crawling
