Pre-commit hooks for hyperlinks

[Alvin Wong]

Not counting the case of wanting to display some text between square 
brackets (which probably is extremely rare), Markdown also has 
[reference links][reference-link] (Hugo is CommonMark compliant), so it 
is possible to have legitimate Markdown source contain a space between a 
closing bracket `[` and an opening parenthesis.

There are other special cases for inline links. For example, space in 
links is supported if the link is enclosed in angled brackets `<>`, and 
link titles also requires adding a space after the link.

Perhaps having a warning is okay if it doesn't get too noisy, but 
blocking such commits entirely seems like a bad idea to me. Anyway, 
isn't it better to have the translation tool (e.g. Lokalize) do the 
checks instead?
