Auto merge of #10357 - nindalf:doc_markdown_relax, r=llogiq

Stop doc_markdown requiring backticks on links to external websites

Fixes #10302

This lint currently checks that any link should be enclosed with `backticks` if the title looks like a lang item. This PR changes the lint to only run on internal links. External links, indicated by `http` or `https`, are skipped.

This PR also reorganises `pulldown_cmark` imports to bypass the clippy lint enforcing 100 line functions.
