  1. news.xml: fix links as far as possible

    In order to honor the history of Nix(OS), this is an effort to restore
    the announcement page to former glory. It is really quite fascinating,
    how basically every link before 2010 is broken by now.
    
    Some links are unfortunately beyond rescue, including University Delft
    websites that were never archived and now point to a Github 404 …
    
    Things left to do:
    - Change all pdfs to archive links. Eelco’s papers still work, but
      they shouldn’t change and the links will break eventually. Better
      safe than sorry.
    - Fix the release pages. From around 2010, a grave sin was commited
      and most links point directly to build outputs of hydra.nixos.org,
      which are obviously all broken by now. I found that most should be
      easy to recover by pointing them to `releases.nixos.org`. Others
      might be lost.
    - Think about how to link to historical release documents that use
      relative links right now. The sections might be restructured in the
      future, breaking the anchors.
    - Archive videos of talks we point to. At least one is on Youtube.
    
    Most external historical links should be back to “working”, for
    various definitions of working.
