      Context

      Our linkcheck job is often failing due to rate limiting or transient errors. It shows red on almost every PR. There are a few things we could do to address this:

      • Do not check anchors (linkcheck_anchors = False)
      • Move the check to an evergreen job that does not run on PRs
      • We are already using linkcheck_retries and linkcheck_workers = 1 from PYTHON-5847.

      Definition of done

      Linkcheck is run less often and is more robust.
