Don't check the same URL multiple times

Following up from a comment

If the same URL appears twice in a file, you can cache the results of the first check and not check it again.

Ideally if we could pass multiple files at once, this caching would persist across files.

The initial solution can be simple and without persistent caching: keep a dictionary/mapping URL -> status outside the file loop.

There's an open task for this link-check issue #31. Feel free to implement it and submit a PR. It'd be a nice feature to have.
