Description

I have a website that has a blog section, and the blog has a lot of entries with a lot of external links. Running zola check takes several hours and makes it impossible to add to my CI.

Being able to exclude the blog directory from the links checker would be extremely useful for us!

Contributor guide

Research direction
Locate the link checking implementation in the Zola codebase, likely in components/ or src/. Understand how directories are traversed and add a configuration option to exclude specific directories from link checking. Update the config struct and pass the exclusion list to the checker.
