Every Discord invite in SUPPORT.md had expired. Checked against Discord's API
rather than by clicking:

ACMjssFV   DEAD   Unknown Invite (code 10006)
eZZtnHKN   DEAD   Unknown Invite (code 10006)
gUPTCPjd   DEAD   Unknown Invite (code 10006)
CYJSYxjN   DEAD   Unknown Invite (code 10006)

So the document that names Discord as the preferred venue, over a Matrix room
it describes as mostly defunct, was sending everyone nowhere at all.

The replacements resolve to the right channels in the OpenINF Community server:

TN52kzH9wR   LIVE   #off-topic
Cgqgwu3FVR   LIVE   #support
uMZ54v4qDm   LIVE   #general

The two support labels

[`#support` channel] and [support-channel-discord] were two different
invite codes for the same channel, and both are used in the same paragraph.
They now name the same invite. Two codes for one destination is how one of them
went stale without anyone noticing.

Why this repository

SUPPORT.md here is the source. openinf.github.io generates
collections/_docs/support.md from it at build time via
compile.siteifyHealthFiles, and its own ignore file says fixes applied there
are overwritten on the next build. So this is the only place the change holds.

The same three invites are being fixed on the OpenINF home page separately, in
OpenINF/openinf.github.io#1833, where they are hardcoded rather than generated.

Checks

Every reference-style link in the file still resolves to a definition. I did
not run pnpm test for this one: the change is four URLs inside a link
definition block, and the toolchain install is a large cost for that. Say the
word if you would rather it ran.

All four invites in SUPPORT.md had expired. Discord answers
`Unknown Invite` for every one, so the document sending people to the
preferred support venue sent them nowhere.

The replacements resolve to #off-topic, #support and #general in the
OpenINF Community server, checked against Discord's API.

Both `#support` labels now name the same invite. They were two distinct
codes for one channel, which is how one of them went stale unnoticed.
