 `get_attachment_link()` returns the URL for the attachment page. As these
 pages have been removed on new installs of WordPress the returned URL
 links to a page that subsequently redirects to the image. This produces
 unnecessary computing cycles and delays visitors reaching the eventual
 destination.

 When attachment pages are turned off, the function should return the same
 value as `wp_get_attachment_url()`.
