Subject: [PATCH] feat: See Also includes in-text links to other blog posts

Adds seeAlsoLinks filter that extracts all internal blog.giersig.eu
links from the raw markdown source and merges them with the explicit
`related` frontmatter field, deduplicated. The section now surfaces
automatically whenever an article links to another post inline.
