Show matched interests as a tag row instead of a callout

With the why line gone the accent-bar callout held nothing but "Matches: a · b",
which no longer earned its quoting. Every surface now puts one row directly
under the rubric: a small-caps "Matches" label and one pill chip per interest.
On the web that is one `.interest-chip` component (admins still get links to
the interest's article filter); the EPUB gets `.matches`/`.interest` rules in
both stylesheets, and `Understanding::interests_line` goes.
