Cody Boone Ferguson 7e63c97ab1 Improve bin/status2html.sh, update news + status
For the improvements to the script, besides a typo, a link to the FAQ
(for submitting entries) has been added and a link to the GitHub issues
page (the new issue page) has been added in the case where an unknown
status appears in the status.json file.

The news update is that more progress has been made in that one of the
longer files to check for invalid links is done (thanks file) and that
two long files are left but that instead of looking at those two first
the other html files will be looked at first as it's quite possible that
both will have to be updated in some way or another as the other files
are being edited. Indeed this has happened numerous times already. This
way will save time and prevent having to look at those files a second
time. It also notes that some of the top level html files have also been
reviewed (see below) and a link was fixed (added a <div id="news"> for a
link that was linked to). I am fairly certain that I also fixed some
formatting problems and some links were fixed as well.

The status.md/status.html file has been updated with some links added,
more div blocks (for each section describing the status.json file),
which are used, slight formatting updates and possibly some other things
as well. As for some of the links we might say that it's 'statuses all
the way down' :-)

With this commit I am happy to report that some other top level files
have also been verified for invalid links:

	judges.html
	news.html
	status.html

As the news.html file will be updated it is entirely possible that some
fixes will have to be made but the links up to and including 08 June
2024 (unless more changes are made today of course) need not be checked
again.

More top level html files (which include those in next/ and other
subdirectories that are not of the entries) also have to be checked but
these should also go relatively quickly.

Regenerated status.json file as the news has been updated.
