Work around markdown-link-check issues. (#8339)

Work around two issues causing the markdown link check to fail in CI.

1. actions/checkout#760. A git permissions issue,
   apparently triggered by a combination of a git change and the behaviour of
   actions/checkout.

2. gaurav-nelson/github-action-markdown-link-check#129.
   Merging an updated version of the underlying package that fixes a bug in the
   handling of local #anchors.

The workaround is a temporary patched fork of the link-checker action.  This
should be removed once the upstream issues are addressed.
