A UI pass: contrast in every theme, and a sign-in page that fits

Measured every theme's palette against WCAG AA. The unread badge's count on its --accent2 fill fell as low as 2.6:1 (Flat Remix light), and the unread dot with it; each theme's --accent2 is taken down until white on it clears 4.5. Tags were --warn or --bad on --raise, short of AA in most light themes, so they are outlined on the row's own ground instead. Nordic dark had --line equal to --panel2, so bordered buttons on a panel2 ground drew no edge at all. Classic's selected row left the row's icon buttons grey on the blue. A zero badge on a selected row was --raise on --raise and vanished. login.html never had a doctype or viewport meta, so it rendered in quirks mode and at desktop width on a phone, and its light palette sat under data-theme="light", which nothing ever set. It follows prefers-color-scheme now, signed out having no account to ask. Dropped the unused log and users icons. The Classic theme's label is now just "Classic".
