    Add forms to search our public mailing lists on about/contact (refs: #9904). · 7b0d0340

    Since more than 3 years, #9904 has been handled as part of #9900 ("Improve
    Website search"). I don't believe this approach is going anywhere because under
    the current assumption that our website must not use an external search engine,
    this would require ikiwiki to index the archive of our mailing lists. I don't
    think that's realistic (no progress on any of the ikiwiki-related subtasks
    of #9900 for years) and even if it were, I don't think it's a good use of our
    time.
    
    In the specific case of our public mailing lists, I believe we can skip the
    discussion about using an external search engine: our mailing lists are already
    hosted by a third party (Autistici/Inventati) and we already provide forms to
    subscribe to them, which POST to that third party. So adding another set of
    forms that POST to A/I's mailing list archive search engine does not make any
    difference in this respect.
    
    To improve UX, I'm using a placeholder that should help visitors of these web
    pages understand what the query string should look like (before they type
    anything), and a tiny bit of JavaScript that initializes the value to the
    required query prefix once the visitor has selected the search field.
    This requires disabling the htmlscrubber ikiwiki plugin on the affected pages.
    
    Finally, I'm wrapping these forms with <p>…</p>, otherwise the rendered layout
    is much too packed.
