Read over all of these and they look outdated and therefore safe to remove.

I would just double-check to make sure there are no internal links to these URIs (probably via an LLM). (I have caught links from docs to marketing content in the past, but it's uncommon.)

Remove broken internal links to deleted pages:
- Remove challenge blog posts that linked to deleted /challenge/ pages
- Remove crosscode link from pulumi-yaml blog
- Remove crosswalk/aws link from happy-birthday blog
- Remove superpowers link from pulumi-2-0 blog
- Remove challenge links from pulumi-ai blog
