Adds kroxylicious.io/get-started which will redirect to the latest proxy quickstart

Why: I want a permanent and snappy URL that redirects to the latest proxy quick start so that I can embed it in videos etc.

This should be long lasting so I've added simple tests (invoked at the end of build.sh) to check that the page, target page and link are what we expect. This will be invoked by the PR build so breaks should cause a PR check failure and block merging.

Note that you can't use liquid templating or fancy shmancy variables and such in the YAML frontmatter of go.markdown, so I've made the redirect layout slightly smarter, if a page passes a target containing $$LATEST_RELEASE$$ then it is replaced with the latest release version. I checked a couple of the established redirects.

change in principle looks good. I'm not entirely sold on just /go go
Feels like a useful namespace for other redirects.

What about /get-started or some other variation? I know it's longer...

yeah I know I've seen go sometimes linked to downloads, or hosting a bash script to install stuff. get-started sounds good. quickstart is a bit narrow since we have multiple quickstarts, get-started is a bit stronger indicator that you really start your journey there.
