link_checking: prevent rate-limiting (#1421)

* link_checking: prevent rate-limiting

Fix for https://github.com/getzola/zola/issues/1056.

- assign all links for a domain to the same thread
- reduce number of threads from 32 to 8
- add sleep between HTTP calls

* Add get_link_domain(), use for loops

* Do not sleep after last link for domain

* Avoid quadratic complexity

* remove prints
