 When anonymizing comment author information, replacing the comment
 author's site URL with `https://site.invalid` has the effect of exposing
 broken links to end users.

 During the anonymization process there's no reason to replace the comment
 author URL with anything. It should be replaced with an empty string as if
 the comment author had not entered a URL.
