Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Bring back the subscribe form on the redesigned page

The August landing-page rebuild dropped the Buttondown form along with
the old article layout, leaving buttondown_username in _config.yml
wired to nothing. The form returns inside the closing call-to-action
card, styled from the page's own tokens, and still renders only once
the username is set.
