Removing broken links from lists

[basharovV]

I've got a list of every dead or broken link in every awesome list, along with the error, which is probably useful to the list maintainers.

Here is the output from my cleanup script, which checks every URL in every awesome list:

Total urls: 47941  Valid urls: 41299 Invalid urls: 6642  HTTP errors: 2044  Other errors: 2406

That's 14% of all links being unavailable...

If you maintain an awesome list, feel free to find the file for your list and check if it has any dead links.

Here's a tool that could help check if your lists links are alive: https://github.com/dkhamsing/awesome_bot

I use it on my awesome-version-managers list .travis.yml config for CI automation.

This was really helpful @riderx. The only change I made was I run the awesome linter first, then the check links.
