This commit improves the URL health checking mechanism to reduce false negatives. - Treat all 2XX status codes as successful, addressing issues with codes like `204`. - Exclude URLs within Markdown inline code blocks. - Send the Host header for improved handling of webpages behind proxies. - Improve formatting and context for output messages. - Fix the defaulting options for redirects and cookie handling. - Add URL exclusion support for non-responsive URLs. - Update the user agent pool to modern browsers and platforms. - Improve CI/CD workflow to respond to modifications in the `test/checks/external-urls` directory, offering immediate feedback on potential impacts to the external URL test. - Add support for randomizing TLS fingerprint to mimic various clients better, improving the effectiveness of checks. However, this is not fully supported by Node.js's HTTP client; see nodejs/undici#1983 for more details. - Use `AbortSignal` instead of `AbortController` as more modern and simpler way to handle timeouts.
