Description

Zola can check our links actually work. To profit from this, we should
- [ ] document this requirement in CONTRIBUTING or similar and in PR template.
- [x] ~~add CI. probably we only want it to verify internal links since external links would be too slow to check and outside our control anyway hence could break at any time.~~ this is already in CI just by building zola. however it only applies when using zola's special internal link format:
- [ ] convert all internal links currently implemented as external links (`https://matrix.org/somewhere` instead of `@/somewhere.md`) to proper internal links
- [ ] convert all internal links currently using default format (`/somewhere` instead of `@/somewhere.md`) to proper internal links
