no issue
- No code changes, only documentation
- Added detailed overview of everything that happens when a member
clicks on a redirect link in an email, along with a `mermaid.js`
sequence diagram

We're rolling out new rules around the node assert library, the first of which is enforcing the use of assert/strict. This means we don't need to use the strict version of methods, as the standard version will work that way by default.
This caught some gotchas in our existing usage of assert where the lack of strict mode had unexpected results:
- Url matching needs to be done on `url.href` see aa58b354a4
- Null and undefined are not the same thing, there were a few cases of this being confused
- Particularly questionable changes in [PostExporter tests](c1a468744b) tracked [here](https://github.com/TryGhost/Team/issues/3505).
- A typo see eaac9c293a
Moving forward, using assert strict should help us to catch unexpected behaviour, particularly around nulls and undefineds during implementation.

- The link redirect handled was querying database on every single frontend request causing a significant amount of unnecessary traffic
- The optimization is returning early if the incoming URL does not start with a common "r/" prefix

This expose the /links endpoint on the Admin API, which is filterable by Post ID.

- Added database storage for link redirects and click events via repositories (hides away database layer) defined in the wrapper services
- Added LinkClickRepository to store click events to database
- Added LinkRedirectRepository to store link redirects to database
- Added PostLinkRepository to link LinkRedirects with posts
- Renamed link-replacement package to link-replacer, and made it dependency less (it only replaces links now, doesn't do anything else)
- The link-tracking service has a new `addTrackingToUrl` which returns a new URL that includes tracking. The new `addRedirectToUrl` method does the same but without tracking for now.
- MEGA service now uses the link-replacer to replace links in the emails using a combination of different services (member attribution + link-tracking service)
