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

Also x-ref #1077

wasn't sure if we outright delete/expunge techniques, or add some kind of "this is now obsolete" warning and keep it in perpetuity...happy to modify this PR accordingly if I was too brutal ripping it out

@alastc @mbgower any chance this could be looked at? it's fairly non-controversial in my view, because...no browser has any meaningful support for these <link rel="..." ...> constructs these days (and even back in the old days, only Opera really did something with them, for other browsers you needed extensions)

Refers to the use of the rel attribute using next/previous in a link tag. Google removed support for next/previous/ in 2019. 77% of all web traffic as of November 2023 uses google, advise removing it as the two attributes are now obsolete.

On deck for call 1/26, no objections to deleting so far...
