This commit fixes dead URLs and updates documentation references,
improving accuracy and reliability.
Key changes:
- Fix dead URLs by using archived snapshots when they are detected as
down by tests.
- Update URLs to their new redirected locations.
Other supporting changes:
- Introduce long URLs for `archive.ph` links to retain the original
URLs within the documentation. It simplifies the maintenance by
removing the need to document the original locations along with the
short URLs.
- Improve some of the documentation to use more current sources,
replacing the outdated ones.

This script stops the "Enable Siri" pop-up [1] from appearing the first time a user logs into macOS [2].
Introduced in macOS version 10.12 [2], this pop-upasks, "Do you want to enable Siri?" [1]
which could lead to Siri being enabled unintentionally.
This script configures the `com.apple.SetupAssistant!DidSeeSiriSetup` setting to suppress this pop-up [1] [2] [3] [4].
This command tells the system that the Siri setup is complete, preventing the pop-up in future sessions and
enhancing privacy by avoiding unintended Siri activation.
