open SlicerSolutions links in new tab

[pieper]

Can we add target="_blank" rel="noopener"? (or whatever is best practice) That should make it more likely that users will continue to explore Slicer after visiting one of the solution sites.

I suggest we use: https://github.com/keithmifsud/jekyll-target-blank and have all external link automatically open in a new windows.
