Updates to global.json and markdown-link-check action usage (#206)

* Updates .NET SDK version

Updates the .NET SDK version to 9.0.300 and sets rollForward to latestMinor.
This ensures the project uses a specific SDK version and automatically rolls forward to the latest minor version updates.

* Updates markdown link check action version

Updates the `gaurav-nelson/github-action-markdown-link-check` action to version 1.0.17 across all workflow files and the README.

This ensures that the latest version of the link checker is used, potentially incorporating bug fixes and new features.

* Adds retry mechanism for link checking

Improves link checking reliability by implementing a retry mechanism for failed requests.

Configures the link checker to retry requests that return a 429 status code (Too Many Requests). This prevents false positives due to temporary network issues or rate limiting.

Specifies the number of retries and the delay between retries.
