addresses issue #372 by adding announcement popup & page

finanalyst commented 3 months ago

announcements.rakudoc is the source for the anouncement page and is contained in 'structure-sources' for this PR
When the website is opened an announcement modal pops-up
Once dismissed, it never appears again for that announcement
Adding a Note to the top of the announcements page changes the id of the last pop-up and so the new announcement will be popped when next the website is opened by a user
announcements can be suppressed by toggle in the ABOUT dropdown.
the SCSS is preliminary for both the pop-up and the page.

This is much nicer than the one off I was thinking of. Thanks!

I did some testing, everything looks good (couldn't test suppression without pushing a new announcement.)

@coke repeating a couple of comments in IRC:

ammend Website/structure-documents/announcements.rakudoc by putting another =Note :date<somestring> :caption<somestring>[nl]content at the top of the notes.
commit to the docs-dev branch. (no need for authorisation, I think)
it will take the CI about 15 minutes to run the tests (far too long)
The CI needs to build the html so that the new javascript will be available on the docs-dev deployment

@coke now if there is no announcements page, there is no popup.
