Added support for a newsletter (#2517)
In reference to idea:

In reference to request:
https://github.com/alshedivat/al-folio/issues/923#issuecomment-2171924663

Added support to integrate a [loops.so](https://loops.so/) mailing list
into the site.

To use, you need to enable `newsletter` in `_config.yml`. You also must
specify a loops endpoint (although I think any mailing list endpoint can
work), which you can get when you set up a mailing list on loops. More
documentation on loops: [here](https://loops.so/docs/forms/custom-form).

Once that is enabled, the behavior is different depending on how you
specified your footer to behave in `_config.yml`. If `footer_fixed:
true`, then the sign up will appear at the bottom of the about page, as
well as at the bottom of blog posts, if you enable `related_posts`.

If `footer_fixed: false`, then the newsletter signup will be in the
footer (on every page), like it is in on [my
website](https://asboyer.com).

I'm not attached to the placement of the signup, and you can choose to
include it wherever you want with `{% include scripts/newsletter.liquid
%}`. Also if you include positional variables into that, you can choose
how you center the signup. So `{% include scripts/newsletter.liquid
left=true %}` positions the signup bar to the left.

Here are some screenshots below:
## Dark version

## Light version

I think the input field color should probably change to maybe be light
for both themes? What do you think? I think the dark background looks
cool, but I don't usually see that done like that on other sites.

## Footer fixed

To clarify, if footer isn't fixed, the email signup will appear on every
page.

Correct config variable for enabling latest_posts on about page (#2243)
I noticed disabling latest_posts in `_config.yml` didn't work because
the variable in the liquid template was seemingly incorrect. This should
fix that.

Lighthouse fixes (#2199)
Our score went down a little bit after the last few changes. Avoiding
lazy loading some images (as introduced in #2183), since [it is strongly
recommended to omit hero images and other images or iframes that are
likely to appear above the fold from being
lazy-loaded](https://web.dev/articles/browser-level-lazy-loading-for-cmss#avoid_lazy_loading_above-the-fold_elements).
Also added missing `alt` to google scholar field.

Fix broken links (#2077)
Added GitHub action to check for broken links in repo before commit,
ignoring files with liquid tags since these were not yet processed and
also README since some sites created from this template doesn't have
valid urls anymore. Fixed some broken links in repo.

format code with prettier.io (#2048)
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
