Subject: [PATCH] Fix CI markdown link check http 500 errors (#4556)

Sites like GitLab can have internal problems that return http 500
errors while they fix their problems. Some sites also return http
200 OK, which is fine.

This PR adds a config file to the markdown link check so those
are considered "passing" and don't break the CI.
