Changes in this PR

Updates doc/conf.py and the linkcheck CI job to reduce intermittent linkcheck failures:

• Set linkcheck_workers = 1 to serialize requests to dochub.mongodb.org and avoid rate-limiting
• Set linkcheck_timeout = 60 to give slow redirects more time before retrying
• Remove GitHub links from linkcheck_ignore — they are now checked properly instead of skipped
• Add linkcheck_anchors_ignore_for_url to skip anchor validation on GitHub URLs (anchors are rendered client-side and are unreliable to check)
• Add linkcheck_request_headers to pass a GitHub token when checking GitHub links, avoiding rate-limiting
• Pass GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }} to the linkcheck workflow step so the token is available

Test Plan

Run the docs-linkcheck CI job a few times to confirm no more timeout or rate-limit failures on dochub or GitHub links.
