ASGIREF PURGES ARCHIVED NGINX UNIT, FIXES BROKEN DEPENDENCY LINKS

Django's ASGIREF is cleaning house, removing the archived and unmaintained NGINX Unit while fixing outdated documentation links that have been steering developers to broken URLs.

The maintenance push addresses a critical hygiene issue: NGINX Unit has been archived as of October 2025 and its GitHub repository is now frozen, making it a liability to recommend [1] [2]. Alongside the removal, the team corrected a broken Uvicorn documentation link and updated the Starlette repository reference to point to its stable 1.0 release [3] [4]. These aren't glamorous changes, but they matter: developers consulting ASGIREF's deployment guides were hitting dead links and outdated project statuses. The fixes ensure that anyone spinning up an ASGI server gets current, working references on their first read.
