Shorten some unnecessarily verbose alt-text
The same necessary information is conveyed, but now it's shorter. Also
removed some extra redundant information.

New "contrast is complex" sub-section
Elaborate on how hues with good perceptual contrast can be
over-stimulating, so we should try to make them "washed-out" when
possible.

Re-do my approach to image transcripts.
Way better now. Also introduce a way to emphasize some keywords in code
blocks without going full syntax-highlighting.

Internal: create + use figure shortcodes + hooks
Create a for <figcaption> and a render hook for code snippets inside
figures, replacing some ugly and complex inline HTML in my markdown
sources.

The only visible change is slightly worse HTML alignment and programming
language indicators (with microdata).

This removed the need to use one of the regex replacements in the
processed_content.html shortcode, and increased the minimum required
Hugo version to 0.93.

More narrow screen optim for old browsers
Some old browser engines don't fully support hyphenation, so they need
some extra help. Now, the entire site should fit in a 150 CSS-pixel wide
viewport.

Clean up some link text too so the text alone is more useful.

- Acknowledge testing in grayscale but emphasize that it isn't enough.
- Move defense of link underlines to just after the section on custom
  colors, since it's more relevant to it.
- Add xkcd image into the page instead of just linking, since the linked
  page content is an image that doesn't include a transcript or
  descriptive alt-text.
- Trivial rephrasings
