brok: link gets (wrongly) flagged as invalid URL

brok, the tool we use to flag broken and invalid links in the github actions CI, reports - Invalid URL: https://gb-archive.github.io/salvage/tutorial_de_ensamblador/tutorial_de_ensamblador%20[La%20decadence].html but https://gb-archive.github.io/salvage/tutorial_de_ensamblador/tutorial_de_ensamblador%20[La%20decadence].html is a valid link

I get a 404 when visiting https://gb-archive.github.io/salvage/tutorial_de_ensamblador/tutorial_de_ensamblador%20%5BLa%20decadence%5D.html

This link does appear to be broken, it should instead be:
https://gb-archive.github.io/salvage/tutorial_de_ensamblador/tutorial_de_ensamblador_la_decadence.html

https://gb-archive.github.io/salvage/tutorial_de_ensamblador/tutorial_de_ensamblador%20%5BLa%20decadence%5D.html was recently changed (upstream, in the repository exposing such files) to remove the escaped entities so at the moment it returns a 404, but before, it got an "invalid link" by brok, even if it was definitely there.
