Removes a reference to https://github.com/gautamkrishnar/keepalive-workflow, because the repository has been disabled as a result of violating the GitHub ToS. See the conversation at nanos/FediFetcher#198, specifically the attachment at nanos/FediFetcher#198 (comment), which I believe was sent to the author after a support request.

Surprisingly, it still shows up on the marketplace at https://github.com/marketplace/actions/keepalive-workflow

There seem to be a few workarounds that are not very popular and thus GitHub has not quite managed to run into yet:

However, I'd suggest not including anything here, as those who want to find such a solution for their repository might just be able to do so through a search engine hit, like I was able to above. Usage of such actions carries a risk of such altercations by GitHub, which I don't think we should invite for our users by offering any advice – they are free to do this on their own accord.
