update link to launch documentation

Use link to hosted documentation instead of sources

i think that is okay to use https://docs.ros.org/en/{DISTRO} and some other docs already use that. out of curiosity, https://docs.ros.org/en/{DISTRO} hosts the up-to-date information from the source daily?

It's not daily, but it happens "sometimes". I'm honestly not sure what the schedule is at the moment, but there are some mechanisms to make sure it does eventually rebuild.

This is great. This will only work for rolling and iron, so I'll just backport this to both of those right now.

If you find out more information about the schedule/triggers, please do let me know so i can add that information to #4196 !

So it looks like the Jenkins job is configured to Poll SCM at this interval: H 3 H/3 * * So I guess every 3rd day it gets polled. That said, I'm not entirely sure I want to document that exact number, as it could change based on external factors (like cost).

alright, thats understandable. in that case i will leave it at "it is built periodically" 👍
