Responsive / multi-resolution Media renditions

Deferred from #131. v1 stores one canonical WebP rendition per upload
(ADR-0017), downscaled to a single bounded long-edge. No srcset, no
art-directed sizes, no thumbnail vs full.

Why deferred: multiple renditions multiply the store and the pipeline, and add
a rendition-selection concern in rendering and feeds, for a minimalist blog that
hasn't shown it needs them. One rendition keeps the store and the serve path simple.

Signal to revisit: real demand for responsive images / bandwidth savings on
large lede images across device sizes. Layers on top of the single-rendition
decision, not a reason to keep originals now.
