Subject: [PATCH] ci(link-check): mark outdated link check comments as such

In particular with long-running issues where links are broken for weeks
(and over the course of dozens of git-scm.com deployments), while it is
nice that the link checker adds the most recent "verdict", the previous
ones are no longer _that_ interesting. Let's hide them.
