Update broken links in documentation

Description

The CRAN check reported several broken or unreachable URLs in the package documentation, mainly pointing to webgr.irstea.fr and webgr.inrae.fr, resulting in either "Could not resolve host" errors or 404 Not Found status.

Issue Details

The following URLs have been identified as invalid:

  • http://webgr.irstea.fr/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/2003-MOUELHI-THESE.pdf
  • http://webgr.irstea.fr/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/2005-MATHEVET-THESE.pdf
  • http://webgr.irstea.fr/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/2008-LE_MOINE-THESE.pdf
  • https://webgr.inrae.fr/home/
  • https://webgr.inrae.fr/models/
  • https://webgr.inrae.fr/models/hydrological-forecasting-model-grp/
  • https://webgr.inrae.fr/models/snow-model/
  • https://webgr.inrae.fr/software/otamin/

Proposal

  • Replace outdated webGR links to theses with permanent HAL IDs links to ensure durability and accessibility
  • Update all webGR pages links in the documentation to their current valid URLs, or remove/fix links that are no longer active
  • Verify all URLs in inst/doc/V01_get_started.html and README.md to avoid future CRAN URL warnings
