This works: ("Pirin" is just a random page with some broken links)

This gives you a list of all links on a page; you need to parse the JSON
data and count how many entries have `"missing": true`.
Note that if there are more than 500 links on a page, you'll need to
continue the query to get the full list
(https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Query#Continuing_queries). It seems
that conveniently all the broken links are listed first, but I'm not
sure if this can be relied on.
