Add the Fun section to the Learn tab with comic-friendly reader view (#3)

The Learn tab gets a Fun section below Learning with the last 3 days of
Fun articles. Fun articles stay out of Today and the Briefing. New curated
Fun sources: xkcd and The Daily WTF (on by default) and r/ProgrammerHumor
top of the day (off).

Reader view for Fun articles shows the picture whole in the body instead
of as a 16:9 banner cropped to fit, and doesn't call a comic without text
a teaser. When the page gives no picture (Reddit blocks reader view), the
feed's image is shown. The extractor now keeps an image's title text as a
caption (xkcd's last joke), images in blockquotes and behind in-page
anchors (The Daily WTF's Error'd screenshots), drops image maps and
license boxes, and on a text tie prefers the page with more blocks.

## Fun sources
Tech humour for the Fun section of the Learn tab, which reaches back 3 days. Fun
articles never show up in Today or the Briefing. ★ = enabled by default.
| | Source | Feed | Focus |
|---|---|---|---|
| 🇬🇧 ★ | xkcd | `xkcd.com/atom.xml` | Webcomic of romance, sarcasm, math and language |
| 🇬🇧 ★ | The Daily WTF | `thedailywtf.com/rss` | IT horror stories, bad code and error messages |
| 🇬🇧 | r/ProgrammerHumor | `reddit.com/r/ProgrammerHumor/top/.rss?t=day` | The day's top programming memes on Reddit |
Reader view shows comics and memes whole instead of as a cropped banner: xkcd
with its title text underneath, The Daily WTF's Error'd with its screenshots.
Reddit blocks reader view, so a meme shows the picture from the feed.
