Fix dead external links - #656

Conversation
Three of the external URLs left over from the link audit no longer resolve. The remaining ones need a replacement target to be decided first, so they are not touched here. * upstart (installation/install-by-gem.md) upstart.ubuntu.com no longer resolves. Upstart stopped being developed and Ubuntu moved to systemd in 15.04, so it is dropped from the list rather than repointed: that list tells the reader which process management tools to use, and there is no longer a reason to suggest this one. * jemalloc (installation/install-by-gem.md, installation/install-from-source.md) www.canonware.com times out. The project site is now https://jemalloc.net/. * yajl-ruby (parser/json.md) rubydoc.info returns 404 for the github/brianmario/yajl-ruby tree. The gems/ path serves the same page, and it documents the buffer_size parameter this paragraph is about. Signed-off-by: Shizuo Fujita <fujita@clear-code.com>

upstart (installation/install-by-gem.md)
upstart.ubuntu.com no longer resolves. Upstart stopped being developed and Ubuntu moved to systemd in 15.04, so it is dropped from the list rather than repointed: that list tells the reader which process management tools to use, and there is no longer a reason to suggest this one.
jemalloc (installation/install-by-gem.md, installation/install-from-source.md)
www.canonware.com times out. The project site is now https://jemalloc.net/.
yajl-ruby (parser/json.md)
rubydoc.info returns 404 for the github/brianmario/yajl-ruby tree. The gems/ path serves the same page, and it documents the buffer_size parameter this paragraph is about.
