Implements cookie consent using vanilla-cookieconsent v3 to comply with
GDPR requirements. Analytics scripts are blocked until user consent is
obtained.
## Changes
**Library Integration**
- Added `vanilla-cookieconsent@3.1.0` to `_config.yml` third-party
libraries with SRI hashes
- Created `_scripts/cookie-consent-setup.js` with consent modal and
settings configuration
- Added CSS/JS includes in `_includes/head.liquid` and
`_includes/scripts.liquid`
**Analytics Blocking**
- Modified analytics scripts in `scripts.liquid` and
`distill_scripts.liquid` to use conditional `type="text/plain"
data-category="analytics"` when consent is disabled
- Blocks Google Analytics, Cronitor, Pirsch, and OpenPanel until consent
granted
- Library automatically converts blocked scripts to executable on user
acceptance
**Configuration**
- Added `enable_cookie_consent` flag (default: `false`)
- Cookie categories: `necessary` (always on), `analytics` (optional)
- 182-day cookie expiration, auto-clear on rejection
## Implementation
```liquid
{% if site.enable_cookie_consent %}
<script type="text/plain" data-category="analytics" async src="...gtag.js"></script>
{% else %}
<script async src="...gtag.js"></script>
{% endif %}
```
Enable in `_config.yml`:
```yaml
enable_cookie_consent: true
```

> <issue_description>Hi,

I need to ask users if they are ok with the use of cookies. Adding a
dialogue by default that that asks the user before any cookies /
localStorage are used would be nice.
>
> I have integrated the dialog from
[https://www.cookieconsent.com/](https://www.cookieconsent.com/) on [my
website](http://hschwane.github.io) and am happy to file a PR if you are
interested. However It is not shown directly at the top, but below the
menu bar for some reason. Not sure how to fix that.

> To answer your question about positioning, the menu bar has the
absolute position at the top of the page and keeps moving with
scrolling. You can change that behavior in `_config.yml` by setting
`navbar_fixed: false` (see [line
27](https://github.com/alshedivat/al-folio/blob/master/_config.yml#L27)).
If you send a PR with basic functionality, I can help with adjusting the
styles a bit. Thanks!</body></comment_new>

`ihavecookies`! I looked through alshedivat/al-folio#223. It seems like
to be able to correctly (un)block different types of cookies (all of
which are third-party cookies) requires adding quite a bit of extra
JavaScript (including adding it directly to posts or pages in some
cases, e.g., when posts embed youtube videos or other external content).
This approach will put some extra burden on contributors and maintainers
of al-folio down the line.
>
> By the way, the dialog from https://www.cookieconsent.com/ is similar
in that sense as it requires to manually add ALL scripts that use
cookies. So, if someone contributes a new feature to al-folio that uses
cookies, the contributor would have to go and update the cookie consent
dialog as well (or edit quite a bit of JS if `ihavecookies` is used).
>
> Thinking about this more, I currently see only three options:
> 1. If we want to have cookie consent as a core part of al-folio (which
can be easily enabled or disabled), it needs to be a service that
automatically identifies and blocks cookies, without putting an extra
burden on the contributors or maintainers. The hosted version of [Cookie
Consent by Osano](https://www.osano.com/features/consent-management) is
an example.
> 2. Another option is to provide a very minimalistic cookie consent
dialog which simply says that the website uses cookies, without an
option to opt-in or opt-out (e.g., see the open-source edition of
[Osano](https://www.osano.com/cookieconsent/download/)).
> 3. Finally, not have cookie consent as part of al-folio, and make the
user responsible for figuring out whether they need a consent dialog and
which service to use.

### Description
This PR adds a Google Calendar integration feature as described in issue
#872. Users can embed their own calendar using an iframe configured via
`_config.yml`, and the calendar is toggleable through a responsive
button. This component is styled to visually blend into the theme and
supports responsive display across desktop and mobile.
### Changes
- Added `calendar.liquid` in `_includes`
- Modified `about.md` to include the toggleable calendar block
- Introduced `calendar` config section in `_config.yml`
- Appended calendar-related styles in `_sass/_base.scss`
### Configuration
To enable this feature, add the following to `_config.yml`:
```yaml
calendar:
enabled: true
calendar_id: your_calendar_id@group.calendar.google.com
timezone: UTC
style: "border:0; width:100%; height:600px;"

The theme toggle button now has a third option, which follows the user's
system preferences.
- In the code there's now a distinction between the theme setting (which
can be "dark", "light" or "system") and the computed theme.
- The theme setting is now stored as the "theme-setting" local storage
variable. Since this is different from the old variable ("theme"), this
will effectively reset all current user themes to the default "system".
Maybe this is not what you want.
- The "system" theme icon is currently a half circle symbol.
- The toggle button now displays the current theme setting, rather than
the next theme setting (as far as I know this is consistent with other
sites which have three theme options).
- `theme.js` is now loaded regardless of `site.enable_darkmode`. This is
because other scripts which were always loaded relied on being able to
determine the theme. `theme.js` no longer initialises the theme itself
though; this only happens when `site.enable_darkmode`.
- When the theme setting is "system", the theme will change immediately
whenever the user changes their system theme.

summary:
- adds prettier formatter configuration
- formats the entire repo using prettier, ignoring minified files
(`*.min.css`) and heavy generated html
- changes extensions of all `.html` files to `.liquid`, which is more
correct and necessary for prettier to work correctly
- replaces "%-" and "-%" with just "%" — manual liquid formatting using
minus signs is superfluous since we are compressing and minifying the
code anyway
- adds CI action for running prettier check on PR and pushes to master
When the dark mode is default, or if you set the page to dark mode and
then refresh, the content in "General Information" can't be seen.
This PR fixes the problem.
* Dark Mode + Theming
* Themes scss file created with default color scheme and dark color scheme.
* Logic for managing dark mode toggle added.
* Modified existing scss/html to work with theme toggling.
* Fixed hover issues
* Added enable_darkmode to configs.
* Added the requested option of disabling/enabling dark mode via config files.
