Replace stale RDS MySQL documentation links

Updated all four English and Chinese connector-table occurrences while preserving supported-version claims and connector configuration.

apache/seatunnel · #12452

Documentation quality fix

MySQL CDC and TiDB CDC readers now reach current, language-matched Alibaba Cloud RDS MySQL documentation instead of a stale marketing URL.

Problem

The RDS MySQL target used by both CDC connector guides had moved and generated link-check noise. English and Chinese readers also lacked direct links to the corresponding official product documentation.

Approach

Replaces only the four hyperlink destinations with official English or Chinese RDS MySQL documentation pages; no code, options, versions, dependencies, or runtime behavior changed.

Impact and scope

  • Restores useful navigation from two widely used CDC connector guides in both supported documentation languages.
  • Removes a repository-wide stale-link finding without altering technical compatibility claims.
  • The link-check job was advisory rather than merge-blocking, so this is documentation hygiene rather than a build or connector fix.

Validation

  • Both language-specific destinations were verified to resolve and a repository search confirmed that no Markdown occurrence of the old URL remained.
  • The diff changes four URL targets only; surrounding connector tables and supported-version text are unchanged.
  • All five hosted checks passed, three upstream contributors approved the change, and the verified merge commit credits Goutam Adwant.
