Add configuration-based links system for conference pages

[dfuchss]

Summary

This PR adds a configuration-based links system for conference publication pages, making it easier to maintain and ensuring consistent presentation across all conference pages.

Changes

• Generic links structure: Added a flexible links array to conference front matter supporting multiple link types with custom names
• Updated 7 conference files: Migrated hardcoded Links sections to YAML configuration (AIRE25, ICSE24, ICSE25, ECSA21, ICSA23, ICSA25, REFSQ25)
• FG-Arch24 unchanged: Kept original German formatting for this presentation page
• Enhanced publication layout: Modified _layouts/publication.liquid to automatically render links with smart formatting
• Intelligent grouping: Links are automatically grouped by type (e.g., "Paper on KITopen and IEEE Xplore")
• Grammatically correct formatting: Uses "as...or" for slides/presentations, "on...and" for papers and replication packages
• Conference-specific presentations: Properly handles multiple presentations at different conferences (e.g., Slides ICSE24, Slides SE25)

Link Types Supported

The flexible configuration automatically handles various link types:

• Paper: Multiple sources grouped together (e.g., "Paper on KITopen and IEEE Xplore")
• Replication Package: Zenodo and GitHub repositories grouped together
• Slides: Multiple formats grouped by conference (e.g., "Slides ICSE24 as PPTX or PDF")
• Presentation: Conference-specific presentations listed separately when from different conferences

Link Type Detection

The system automatically detects link types by parsing the link name:

• Links starting with "Paper (...)" are grouped as Papers
• Links starting with "Replication Package (...)" are grouped as Replication Packages
• Links starting with "Slides [Conference] (...)" are grouped by conference
• Other links are displayed individually

Examples

AIRE25:

• Paper on KITopen and IEEE Xplore
• Replication Package on Zenodo and GitHub
• Slides as PPTX or PDF

ICSE24:

• Paper on ACM Open Access and KITopen
• Replication Package on Zenodo and GitHub
• Slides ICSE24 as PPTX or PDF
• Slides SE25 (PDF)

FG-Arch24: Kept original German "Links und relevante Publikationen" section (unchanged)

Benefits

• Easy to add, modify, or remove links without touching markdown content
• Consistent presentation across conference pages
• Automatic formatting with proper grammar
• Supports any number of links with custom names
• Handles complex scenarios like multiple conference presentations
• All existing links verified and working correctly

Verification

✅ 7 conference files migrated and verified
✅ 1 conference file (FG-Arch24) kept in original format
✅ All links migrated correctly
✅ No unintended hardcoded sections removed
✅ All URLs verified and working

Addressed both review comments in _layouts/publication.liquid:

• Consolidated duplicate slides branches into a single {% if group_name contains 'Slides' %} block, eliminating duplication and keeping the "as ... or" grammar for all slide groups.
• Single-link case was already simplified in the latest branch state. Confirmed it now renders with a single <li><a ...>{{ link.name }}</a></li> without unnecessary conditionals.

Let me know if you want me to further adjust the grouping wording or add tests/examples in one of the conference pages to demonstrate the variations.
