Summary:
The goal of this PR is to place greater emphasis on the blog as a destination.
The dark Hero from the landing page is now present in the blog as well, and the content is front and center.
The sidebar has been removed. It is not necessary to show a list of recent blog posts in the sidebar when the blog landing page shows the same number of posts along with short excerpts.
The prev/next links have swapped positions, and will now display "Older posts" and "Newer posts".
The excerpts have been stripped of formatting and they are now consistent across the blog landing page and the OpenGraph metatags. Fixes#10597.
A signup form for the new React Native newsletter has been added to the footer.

Summary:
Similar to the Hero image functionality. If a video URL is present in the post metadata, it will be displayed instead of a Hero image. This will be useful when highlighting videos in blog posts.
Renamed ReadMoreLink into a more generic ExceptLink which will display "Watch video" when the blog post category is "videos".
Currently there is no way of listing blog posts by categories, but it may be useful to do so later once we have a larger catalog of content.

Summary:
Several blog and sharing improvements are included in this update.
* A larger default preview image is used when a blog post or doc is shared on social media as recommended by [best practices](https://developers.facebook.com/docs/sharing/best-practices#images).
* Follow other Facebook Sharing best practices such as associating the site with a Facebook Page (React) and a Page Admin (121800083 is my fbid, and I am an admin for the React page).
* If the shared blog post contains a hero image, use it as a share preview image.
* Use actual doc content instead of generic site description when sharing docs.
* Update existing hero images to use the larger recommended size.
* Add titles to each author's byline.
* Add author's avatar to their byline.
* Add Twitter Card support.
* Link to individual blog posts from the title and hero image in the blog index.
Old metadata tags (blog post):
