docs: update IETF links to use datatracker
...
The tools.ietf.org domain has been deprecated a while now, with the
links being redirected to datatracker.ietf.org.
Rather than make people eat that redirect time, this change switches the
URL to a more canonical source.

WHATWG URL has dictated the use of Nontransitional Processing (IDNA

Transitional Processing, but Firefox and Safari have both switched.
Also document the fact that winidn functions differently from libidn2
here.
