Fix dead external links in the English manual (#5664)

* Fix two dead external links

reference/ldap/constants.xml: &url.rfc;45282 had an extra digit (link
text reads RFC 4528). reference/mongodb/architecture.xml: remove the
double slash in the Composer package link.

* Drop two retired Microsoft links, keep the reference text

The Microsoft KB 321788 page and the MSDN forum post (both 404, no
archive snapshot) are unlinked while keeping the surrounding prose.

Changed paths:
  M  install/windows/commandline.xml
  M  reference/ldap/constants.xml
  M  reference/mongodb/architecture.xml
