A11y and perf improvements

- Even less halation for dark theme
- More contrast for borders
- Slightly larger font, fixes APCA contrast issue for <small>
- Make responsive navbar work in NetSurf
- Make aria-current page bold
- Use content-visibility to unload footers and endnotes
- Add aria-labels to unclear webring link text
- Replace <hr> elements with css borders; the semantic meaning of <hr>
  was unnecessary with section breaks.

/* This site's CSS does 10 major things:
* 1. sans-serif instead of serif for low-res screens.
* 2. Consistent font size; <pre> and <code> shouldn't be smaller than
* regular text.
* 3. max content width for readability
* 4. single-row nav links widescreen, multiline nav on narrow screens
* 5. Soft border around code and images to disginguish from the
* surrounding page. Images with white/black or transparent
* backgrounds should have clear dimensions, and multiple consecutive
* inline <code> spans should look separate. A <code> span that
* continues across multiple lines should not look like multiple different
* spans.
* 6. Increase the line-spacing a bit so users on mobile devices can
* tap links more easily.
* 7. Horizontally center non-inline images; left-aligned stick out.
* 8. dark.css changes a few colors if the browser wants dark mode.
* 9. Support unstyled lists: for webmentions, post lists, nav links.
* 10. Narrow screen optimization: less-indented blockquotes, overflow
* behavior for <pre>, no figure margins.
* Everything else is browser defaults:
* default fonts, non-dark-mode colors, etc.
