usrse.github.io Updated LBL links

Description

I think these are what will be the new links. They might not yet be ready, so I will undraft this when they are.

Checklist:

[ ] I have previewed changes locally or with CircleCI (runs when PR is created)
[ ] I have completed any content reviews, such as getting input from relevant working groups. If no, please note this and wait to post the PR to the #website channel until the content has been settled.

When you are ready for a technical review/merge, post the for the link for the PR in the US-RSE Slack (#website) to ask for reviewers.

Question for @exoticDFT and @crd477: The URL check is passing for these new links, even tho the one for my group (Scientific Software Engineering) isn't actually live yet. That is what the link will be once it goes live, probably in less than a week. The URL check failure on the zenodo doi, is another thing entirely.

Are you ok with merging this as is, knowing 1 link it fixed and 1 is not yet working correctly but will be soon?

Yes, it's OK with me to merge as-is.

Whoops, forgot to do the formal review step. This looks good to me except that instead of being a WordPress landing page, the first link now appears to be password protected.

Ugh, yes, I know. I'm trying to get that page published properly. What is rather frustrating is they have listened to my complaints about breaking the old links by setting up redirects to the new pages. Which of course means as soon as the new links I have here work, so will the old ones via redirects. I still think this PR is worth merging as at least these are more "direct" links now.

I believe the new LBL links are fully working now.

And, to make this whole exercise even more frustrating, the old links have redirects now that point to these new links!
