Add URL-level deduplication to prevent the weekly link check workflow from creating multiple issues for the same broken link. Changes: - Add extract_known_urls.py to parse URLs from open issue bodies - Update report_linkcheck.py to accept --known-urls-file argument - Add exit code 3 for when all broken links are already tracked - Known broken links show 'Related to #NNN' in the Status column - Only create new issues when genuinely new broken links are found Fixes NOAA-RDHPCS#772
