add last updated date to posts (#2341)
This PR is related to #2309. I added an optional `last_updated` field.
This new field represents the timestamp for when the post was last
updated. Consequently, the existing `date` metadata should now be
interpreted as the creation date of the post.

The formatting for displaying these dates has been standardized as
follows:

```text
Created: July 11, 2023   |   Last Updated: April 14, 2024
```

For a practical implementation example, please refer to [this
post](https://torydeng.github.io/blog/2023/deploying-server/) on my
website, where I have applied these changes.

This is an example post with some [vega lite](https://vega.github.io/vega-lite/) code.
````markdown
```vega_lite
{
"$schema": "https://vega.github.io/schema/vega-lite/v5.json",
"description": "A dot plot showing each movie in the database, and the difference from the average movie rating. The display is sorted by year to visualize everything in sequential order. The graph is for all Movies before 2019.",
"data": {
"url": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vega/vega/main/docs/data/movies.json"
},
"transform": [
{"filter": "datum['IMDB Rating'] != null"},
{"filter": {"timeUnit": "year", "field": "Release Date", "range": [null, 2019]}},
{
"joinaggregate": [{
"op": "mean",
"field": "IMDB Rating",
"as": "AverageRating"
}]
},
{
"calculate": "datum['IMDB Rating'] - datum.AverageRating",
"as": "RatingDelta"
}
],
"mark": "point",
"encoding": {
"x": {
"field": "Release Date",
"type": "temporal"
},
"y": {
"field": "RatingDelta",
"type": "quantitative",
"title": "Rating Delta"
},
"color": {
"field": "RatingDelta",
"type": "quantitative",
"scale": {"domainMid": 0},
"title": "Rating Delta"
}
}
}
```
````
Which generates:
```vega_lite
{
"$schema": "https://vega.github.io/schema/vega-lite/v5.json",
"description": "A dot plot showing each movie in the database, and the difference from the average movie rating. The display is sorted by year to visualize everything in sequential order. The graph is for all Movies before 2019.",
"data": {
"url": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vega/vega/main/docs/data/movies.json"
},
"transform": [
{"filter": "datum['IMDB Rating'] != null"},
{"filter": {"timeUnit": "year", "field": "Release Date", "range": [null, 2019]}},
{
"joinaggregate": [{
"op": "mean",
"field": "IMDB Rating",
"as": "AverageRating"
}]
},
{
"calculate": "datum['IMDB Rating'] - datum.AverageRating",
"as": "RatingDelta"
}
],
"mark": "point",
"encoding": {
"x": {
