We want users to have the ability to share information about their packages that is currently unavailable on pkg.go.dev. We’ll extract this information in two separate ways, one for arbitrary units and one for packages. (A unit is a module, package or directory.)

If a unit's README contains a header called “Links” at any level, we will extract the top-level links [title](url) inside lists from the first such section and display them on the right sidenav.

We would extract both links from

#### Links

- [Title](URL)

- [Title](URL)

but neither from

#### Links

I recommend [Title](URL) for a good tutorial and [Title](URL) for reference documentation.

For package documentation, we will allow users to add a “Links” section to the package overview, and provide links in the format:

- Title, URL

Links will be displayed in the right sidebar in the order they are listed. Module-level links will be displayed first, then package-level links.

The links from a unit’s README will be displayed on that unit’s page and the pages of all sub-units, unless a sub-unit has a README links section of its own.

The links section will be removed from the documentation section of the godoc.

Instead of

The links from a unit’s README will be displayed on that unit’s page and the pages of all sub-units, unless a sub-unit has a README links section of its own

we are going to display the module's links on all sub-unit pages, in addition to the readme and doc links of that sub-unit. There won't be any general "inheritance" of links.

Show a module's README links on all units within the module.
