Remove everything that can change after first paint

Firefox users saw a flash on the first navigation after an idle spell, and
Chrome occasionally flashed white. Nothing in the network path explained it
(assets are immutable, the stylesheet is render-blocking, a cold Firefox
load paints fully styled), so this removes every remaining way a page could
look different between its first paint and its final state:

- Both Newsreader faces are embedded in the served stylesheet as data: URIs
  (CSP gains `font-src 'self' data:`; the preloads go away). A font fetched
  by URL is applied after first paint whenever the browser has to bring it
  back from disk, which is exactly the "first click after a while" case.
- The cross-document view transition is gone; the operator wants snappy.
- A color-scheme meta, kept in step with the saved theme, so the canvas the
  browser paints before the stylesheet is the right shade.
- The theme toggle's icon and label are chosen by CSS from html[data-theme]
  (set pre-paint by theme.js) instead of being rewritten by app.js.
- Dashboard table filters are rendered by the templates (shown under
  `.has-js`) rather than inserted by app.js, so tables no longer jump.
