In most cases the webwork.maa.org links have been updated to their new locations. However, there are some exceptions and other things noted below.

In addition to updating links in the README.md file, the file was generally cleaned up and issues reported by markdown lint fixed.

For example, a markdown file must have a single top level header and it must be the first line of the file. So the Welcome to WeBWorK header was moved before the license. I would actually like to remove the license from the file as well. It is not standard practice to include that here. It is in the LICENSE file. That should be enough. Perhaps a link to the license could be here instead?

Also, the bare links were replaced with markdown links with link text instead of directly showing the URL.

The webwork.maa.org links in the files in the
courses.dist/modelCourse/templates/setDemo directory were not updated. I have another plan for the Demo set that will be in a future pull request.

The $webworkURLs{docs} configuration variable (in defaults.config) was not updated, but was deleted. The only place that was used was to pass that to PG in lib/WeBWorK/Utils/Rendering.pm. However, PG doesn't use that. So that usage was removed as well.
