feat(ci): improve code quality

- replace deprecated string templates with `String.format`
- updated `.markdown-link-check.json` to ignore `localhost` links
- added `java-pmd-ruleset.xml` to disable PMD rules for specific code patterns
- upgrade `jackson-databind` to version 2.18.1
- disabled spell checking linters in `.mega-linter.yml`.
