Issue body
*Please describe the question or issue you're facing with "lxd-profile.yaml file - Charmcraft dev documentation".*
The link here is broken:
> See more: [Juju | The LXD cloud and Juju](https://juju.is/docs/juju/lxd?_gl=1*bn48c3*_gcl_au*MTAxODI2MzUyMi4xNzgzMDI1ODQw*_ga*MTgyNTk0MjIwOS4xNzgzMDA3ODQy*_ga_5LTL1CNEJM*czE3ODMzMDMxMDkkbzUkZzEkdDE3ODMzMDQ1MDckajYwJGwwJGgw)
It implies that it's going to take you to a LXD-specific Juju-docs page (https://juju.is/docs/juju/lxd) but instead it just redirects to the juju-cli page:
```
$ curl -ILv https://juju.is/docs/juju/lxd 2>&1|grep -E "^< (HTTP/2|location)"
< HTTP/2 301
