Let reporters include the full broken URL safely.

When the broken URL has a query string, sanitizeUrl removes it before the issue body is built. The report can therefore omit information needed to reproduce the failure. Provide a privacy-aware way for reporters to include the full URL, such as an explicit opt-in.

Review comment at @src/sections/404/index.js at line 120:
Update the broken URL reporting flow in the 404 section so reporters can
explicitly opt in to including the full `brokenUrl`, including its query string.
Keep `sanitizeUrl` as the default behavior when they do not opt in, and ensure
the opt-in path uses the original URL without weakening the default privacy
protection.

Keep reported URLs clickable.

The code spans prevent GitHub from linking ordinary URLs. Maintainers must copy the addresses to investigate them. Render valid URLs as links while preserving trailing punctuation.

Review comment at @src/sections/404/index.js around lines 120 - 121:
Update the brokenUrl and referrer entries in the report so valid URLs render as
clickable links instead of being enclosed in code spans. Preserve any trailing
punctuation outside the link, and keep non-URL text readable.
