Using the link element and navigation tools may really not be all that useful/relevant anymore. To my knowledge, no browser actually exposes those link elements to users in any way. Old Opera browsers used to have an optional toolbar that would take advantage of these links and show some navigation buttons, but I seem to remember that even back then this was the exception. I'm not aware of any commonly-used extensions for modern browsers that take advantage of these links/expose them to the user either. x-ref #1077

edited title, as it's advisory for 2.4.5 but sufficient for 2.4.8

Remove technique H59
28f66d7 
the technique is out of date and has no real-world usefulness, since no major browser these days has any kind of `<link rel="...">` navigation toolbar.

Closes #1234
