Before this change, the following error would cause VerifyAccountLinksWorker to fail:
NoMethodError: undefined method `downcase' for nil:NilClass
[PROJECT_ROOT]/app/services/verify_link_service.rb:31 :in `block in link_back_present?`
If the first link to be verified contains a rel=me link with a SSL
error, the VerifyAccountLinksWorker will fail and not try the following
links. This rescues the SSL error when fetching the link, avoiding this
issue.
* Verify link ownership with rel="me"
* Add explanation about verification to UI
* Perform link verifications
* Add click-to-copy widget for verification HTML
* Redesign edit profile page
* Redesign forms
* Improve responsive design of settings pages
* Restore landing page sign-up form
* Fix typo
* Support <link> tags, add spec
* Fix links not being verified on first discovery and passive updates
