ci: update mlc to v1
What changed, and why it matters
This commit simply updates the version of a link-checking tool (mlc) used in Bitcoin Core's automated CI linting from v0.19.0 to v1. There is no code change affecting Bitcoin Core itself, its consensus rules, networking, wallet, or any user-facing functionality. It is a routine dependency bump in a developer-only script.
No security action needed. Review the mlc v1 release notes for any breaking changes in link-checking behavior if CI linting begins to fail.
Security signals we found
No strong security signals were identified.
Evidence from the diff
The diff changes one line in ci/lint/01_install.sh, setting MLC_VERSION from v0.19.0 to v1. mlc (Markup Link Checker) is a third-party tool used during CI to verify that documentation links are not broken. The change only affects how the CI environment downloads the mlc binary. No Bitcoin Core source code, build logic, or runtime behavior is modified.
