feat: add comprehensive broken link validation command

- Add new validate command for finding broken links of all types
- Support internal, external, anchor, image, reference, and claude-import links
- Include HTTP/HTTPS external link validation with configurable timeout
- Implement anchor link validation that checks for target headings
- Provide flexible output options (group by file/type, JSON, verbose)
- Support glob patterns for file selection with depth control
- Add comprehensive test coverage for all validation scenarios
- Exit with error code when broken links are found for CI/CD integration

The validate command significantly enhances markmv's capabilities by providing
comprehensive link integrity checking across all supported link types.
