Subject: [PATCH] fix: use links with leading slash as-is

Links that started with a slash were being prepended the URL hostname
and rendered as absolute links before. This caused our link checker to
miss broken links that contained a leading slash.

This change fixes this issue by rendering links with a leading slash as-is,
without modification.
