Draft: Koneko Rewrite

This will be the tracking issue for the eventual merge of the koneko rewrite. The rewrite will include both a rewrite of the UI and a change of the used SSG. This rewrite builds on top of the lessons learned with the last attempt at a full rewrite with Hexo.

While Zola was truly a breath of fresh air, its limitations were hit pretty quickly. I hope to address those problems, like the limited templating engine, with the switch to SvelteKit. Some of these changes will have a slight impact on site performance, but I aim to at least reach parity in terms of load speed and page size. On the other hand the long-term goal is to keep the project agile and make the codebase extensible for future content and projects. Additionally, previous concerns like Accessibility (#13) will hopefully be adequately addressed.
