82c43ba2e3 Refactor to remove "Async" function name suffix
Remove convention where Async suffix is added to functions that returns
a Promise. It was a habit from C#, but is not widely used in JavaScript
/ TypeScript world, also bloats the code. The code is more consistent
with third party dependencies/frameworks without the suffix.

799fb091b8 Fix failing URL status checking integration tests
Implement following redirects over `fetch` supporting cookies.
`node-fetch` does not support sending cookies during redirect. However,
this is needed to not end-up in a redirect loop for a sign-in callback.

Fix integration tests failing due to redirects and 403 errors:
  - Many redirects from `answers.microsoft.com` was throwing: throwing
    `FetchError: maximum redirect reached` error. It was caused by not
    having cookies when following redirects therefore having an infinite
    sign-in callback for the webpage.
  - Fixes integration tests failing due to additional referer header being
    sent by the application. It adds support for making exceptions to
    additional header sending through a list of regexes.

Add in-depth documentation for URL status checking.
