Fix up doc links to point to master branch

[hamishwillee]

The old link format goes to a redirect, which takes you to the v1.9 version of the docs. I think linking explicitly to docs master branch is generally better.

Can whoever approves this also merge it. I don't have rights.

@hamishwillee on that. Why do the default links redirect to 1.9? Why isn't the default 1.10 aka current stable?

Can you merge this. I don't have the rights. Should be done irrespective of discussion below.

@julianoes The redirect to v1.9 not because it was the stable release at the time I did this, but because I wanted to ensure that the maximum number of existing external links to the old "bare URLs" would go to actual pages and not pages that got moved/deleted over time - as would be the case if I used master.

Over time I hoped there would be fewer and fewer links going to the old non-specific URL. I would prefer not to update to v1.10 - it is yet another step that needs to be maintained.

Maybe fixing these up to point to master and be done with it would be better that v1.9, or trying to track stable. Do you have an opinion?

Agreed.

Thanks Julian. On my list to change it "soon". Bit overloaded right now.
