Adam Chainz bcaf1de155 Convert readthedocs links for their .org -> .io migration for hosted projects
As per [their blog post of the 27th April](https://blog.readthedocs.com/securing-subdomains/) ‘Securing subdomains’:

> Starting today, Read the Docs will start hosting projects from subdomains on the domain readthedocs.io, instead of on readthedocs.org. This change addresses some security concerns around site cookies while hosting user generated data on the same domain as our dashboard.

Test Plan: Manually visited all the links I’ve modified.

Daphne is a HTTP, HTTP2 and WebSocket protocol server for
`ASGI <https://channels.readthedocs.io/en/latest/asgi.html>`_, and developed
to power Django Channels.
It supports automatic negotiation of protocols; there's no need for URL
prefixing to determine WebSocket endpoints versus HTTP endpoints.
Running
-------
Simply point Daphne to your ASGI channel layer instance, and optionally
set a bind address and port (defaults to localhost, port 8000)::
daphne -b 0.0.0.0 -p 8001 django_project.asgi:channel_layer
If you intend to run daphne behind a proxy server you can use UNIX
sockets to communicate between the two::
daphne -u /tmp/daphne.sock django_project.asgi:channel_layer
If daphne is being run inside a process manager such as
`Circus <https://github.com/circus-tent/circus/>`_ you might
want it to bind to a file descriptor passed down from a parent process.
To achieve this you can use the --fd flag::
daphne --fd 5 django_project.asgi:channel_layer
To see all available command line options run daphne with the *-h* flag.
Root Path (SCRIPT_NAME)
-----------------------
In order to set the root path for Daphne, which is the equivalent of the
WSGI ``SCRIPT_NAME`` setting, you have two options:
* Pass a header value ``Daphne-Root-Path``, with the desired root path as a
URLencoded ASCII value. This header will not be passed down to applications.
* Set the ``--root-path`` commandline option with the desired root path as a
URLencoded ASCII value.
The header takes precedence if both are set. As with ``SCRIPT_ALIAS``, the value
should start with a slash, but not end with one; for example::
daphne --root-path=/forum django_project.asgi:channel_layer
