Remove 'blogroll' from the import options

[SergeyBiryukov]

Background: ​#WP22994 for the change in WordPress core.

Since we've removed Link Manager from core 7 years ago (​#WP21307), we should not encourage importing links.

This will require a change to ​https://api.wordpress.org/core/importers/1.1/, and maybe bumping the API version, so it does not affect the earlier WordPress versions.

Looks like that's not necessary, as the endpoint receives the version number, see [3690].

In that case, is the related ticket ​WP 22994 good to commit?

Bumping the API version should not be necessary, but we'd still need to add some logic to the API to exclude "Blogroll" for WordPress 5.3+.

Props Hareesh Pillai.
Fixes #4706.

Just noting I'd not seen the Core ticket was bumped out of 5.3 - Awaiting feedback on the core ticket, we can bump this to 5.4+ or punt it forever again if needed.

For now, Blogroll won't show up in the 5.3 beta's.

Follow-up to [9158] to match the core change in ​[WP47227].
