Subject: [PATCH] refactor: switch to flat .html output (suckless style)

- src/content.rs: output_path() now returns slug.html instead of
  slug/index.html for regular content.

- src/templates.rs: All hrefs use explicit .html extension.
  Nav links point to index.html, blog.index.html, about.html.
  Blog post links use ./slug.html format.

- src/main.rs: Adjust depth values (root=0, blog posts=1).

No more directory-per-page overhead. file:// navigation works
without directory listings. True suckless structure.
