Slack's Android app doesn't render links that have mrkdwn formatting inside them. Our alert titles were built as <url|title>, so on mobile they showed up as plain text instead of links. Desktop handled it fine, which is why nobody noticed sooner.

This removes the bold markers from inside the links in the issue alert, metric alert, incident alert, and notification digest builders. Titles still show, they just aren't bold inside the link anymore. Titles without a link keep their bold.

Updated the existing test assertions that encoded the old format.

Fixes #109694

Slack's Android app does not render links that contain mrkdwn
formatting. Alert titles were built as <url|*title*>, which showed
as plain text on mobile. Emit <url|title> instead.
