Move away from linkifyjs

Uses jQuery and is quite heavy for a simple string replacement
Let's move to https://bundlephobia.com/result?p=linkify-urls, highly supported and sindresorhus is an awesome dev with great libs! :)

Thanks for this hint. I changed from linkifyjs to linkify-urls@2 for polls. Seems that version 3 does not work in safari as mentioned on the github page.

linkifyjs also works fine without jquery, but if linkify-urls is a sane replacement, of course saving those bytes makes sense 👍

We only use linkifyjs/string and webpack is smart enough to not bundle the whole linkifyjs package. However, with linkifyjs@3, linkify-string moved to its own package, so absolutely no need for linkifyjs anymore.

And linkify-string is even smaller than linkify-urls: https://bundlephobia.com/package/[email protected]

So I think we can close this (at least as soon as #2275 is in).
