maint: Remove mdbook-linkcheck and support mdbook 0.5.x

Fixes #14628

- Remove mdbook-linkcheck dependency and configuration (was blocking
  upgrades to mdbook 0.5.0+, configured with warning-policy = "ignore"
  due to false positives, and redundant with lychee-based link checking)
- Update substitute.py and anchors.jq to handle 'items' (mdbook 0.5.x)
  in addition to 'sections' (mdbook 0.4.x), as per mdbook 0.5.0
  changelog: "Book::sections was renamed to Book::items"

(cherry picked from commit 2636f50dd4)
