Link liveness validation cannot depend only on status code of item's `url`

Description

Validating that an upstream url returns a 200 is apparently not actually sufficient to find dead links. This result is on the first page of cc0 search for "dogs": https://search-production.openverse.engineering/image/8f562c74-432f-47d0-bb68-fff2fdb07a16
