Link Checker: updated User-Agent for link checks

Summary

Link Checker now sends "Contentful-Link-Checker/1.0" as its User-Agent instead of "ContentfulLinkChecker/1.0".
Firewalls or bot protections that whitelist the old User-Agent must be updated to allow the new string, otherwise link checks may be blocked.
The HTTP status of each checked URL is now written to App Function logs, retrievable via the Content Management API.
