Switch to upstream Zola

All of the patches we needed for the migration have been merged upstream

We use a submodule of Zola so we can better control the version of Zola
that blog authors are running locally.

 ## Building
 
-To serve the site locally, first install Zola: (takes a couple minutes)
+To serve the site locally, first make sure the zola submodule is initialized:
 
 ```sh
-# using a fork because we rely on a few patches that haven't landed yet
-cargo install --locked --git https://github.com/senekor/zola --rev 79410eea82f837e4de9b1e4c3905287060b69255
+git submodule update --init --recursive
 ```
 
-Now run `zola serve --open`.
+Now run `cargo zola serve --open`.
+(The first run takes a while to compile Zola.)
 The site will be reloaded automatically when you make any changes.
