Bug: mdx-loader caching issue => linked md files should be added as dependencies

[slorber]

🐛 Bug Report

Suppose you have:

# md file

[link](./otherMdFile.md)

Then if the linked md file change from slug: /path1 to slug: /path2 the md file must be "invalidated"

Otherwise, we'll keep linking to /path1 (instead of new /path2) due to Webpack caches.

mdx-loader probably needs to collect linked file paths, and call this.addDependency(linkedFilePath);

Had to clear the Netlify cache to fix the build failure

This is not really an issue for first-time contributors @balogun14, I take notes for myself to solve this problem on my own later.
