[issue40770] RFE: Run linkchecker on documentation on the CI

[Ned Deily]

Ned Deily <nad at python.org> added the comment:

I think our CI checks already take too long to run and use possibly more than our fair share of global open source resources (provided by GitHub, Travis, MS Azure) especially considering how infrequently you would expect to find a problem and the low severity of missing one immediately.  I think a more appropriate choice would be to set up a buildbot to do such a check, perhaps weekly is often enough, not more than daily.

Julien, what do you think?
