Fix non-permanent links in MSCs to withstand time (#3422)

As "unstable" changes and "latest" becomes no more, these sorts of links should be updated to reference the approximate section they intended to reference at the time of writing.

This change tries to link up the relevant bits for the time of the proposal, though it's not a perfect match. Some MSCs were brought into the spec before an API version could be assigned to the "old" text, so github permalinks are used instead.
