Allow users to skip the removed URLs check by including 'skip removed-urls-check' in the PR title, PR body, or commit message. This is useful when intentionally removing pages or when redirects will be added in a follow-up commit. Added a how-to guide explaining how to use this feature with an example commit message. Fixes canonical#531

I think it might be better to just use the PR title and body, as this action only runs in a PR - and it will only read from the head commit to skip the action.

Clever. I do see this as something that would be valuable - to the point where we should probably (eventually) move this to documentation-workflows and set it up as a remote action so adopters can stay up to date with nice features like this.
I've left a comment, but I don't think it's blocking. However, I'll get some more input from the TA team before approving.
