`web/samples_index` Drop unused `links` attribute from config (#1828)

I've confirmed that the `links` configuration attribute is indeed
unused: https://flutter.github.io/samples/next_gen_u_i_demo.html

Dropping unused configuration sounds like a good move. We can
re-introduce it if/when we start displaying the content.
