Change destination for shortened links

Created by: bondz

The shortened bit.ly links in the project would not redirect to the website since bitly doesn't let users except enterprise users change the destination of links.

This poses a problem for all the shortlinks that are already in the wild, as all of them would now redirect to https://github.com/facebook/create-react-app/blob/master/packages/react-scripts/template/README.md

We have a few options, switch to a service that lets us edit the destination of shortlinks, like

page.links or rebrandly

This still leaves us with problems like in #5497 (closed)

Second, we could document in the readme the new destination for the links, this would help the more than 4k people who clicked on the PWA link alone this month.
