Commit d656218a83 (docs/bisect-lk2009: update nist report link, 2017-04-20) replaced a dead link to news release on nist.gov. However, this might be confusing to the reader (like myself) because the article git-bisect-lk2009.txt quotes from the news release but the exact quote cannot be found in the full report. In addition to that, the link added in 2017 is also dead in 2023.

Replace the reference to nist.gov with an version of the original NIST news release archived to the Wayback Machine. Include also an updated link to a live version of the full report.

I wasn't sure about inclusion of links to https://web.archive.org, but there is a single precedent already in "Documentation/gitcore-tutorial.txt".
