utilities/auto-blog-link-preserver#11: Handle LinkWarden's duplicate link status code

Issue Information

Description

Link Warden includes an option to prevent duplicate links from being submitted, which is off by default

Having it on is extremely beneficial.

However, it does mean that the script currently reports submission failure - the API returns a HTTP 409 (always makes me happy to see an appropriate use of status codes!)

We should differentiate between "this failed" and "this link is already there"

This is done.

The script won't print anything when a link is duplicate (doesn't quite seem worth the log churn).

However submit_to_linkwarden() has moved from returning a boolean to an integer

      0 - submission failed
      1 - submission succeeded
      2 - LinkWarden reported it was a duplicate link
