Rollup merge of #56360 - alexcrichton:linkchecker-omg, r=pietroalbini

Optimize local linkchecker program

I noticed on a [recent build][1] that the linkchecker stage of CI took a
whopping 15 minutes of CI time for something that should be near
instantaneous. Some local profiling showed some very hot functions and
clones which were pretty easy to remove, and now instead of running in
minutes locally it runs in seconds.
