Documentation: Fix broken empty links

The intention seems to be to enable links like:
https://github.com/SerenityOS/serenity/blob/master/Documentation/CodingStyle.md#east-const
However, this has never worked, and is also not how the syntax works.
Because there seems to be no demand for the intended feature (nobody
since 2019 fixed it), this patch removes it.

Found by markdown-checker.
