Changes

The following are the major changes I made compared to the upstream.

Hexo site

• Update .gitlab-ci.yml to use the latest version of Node.js in Alpine docker image.
• Update package.json to use latest version of hexo and its related packages.
• Replace the bundled Landscape theme with Typing theme.
• Pre-compressed the assets using hexo-yam.

Typing theme

• Homepage shows index of posts.
• Use the latest version of clipboard.js and Fork Awesome (disabled by default).
• Remove jQuery, fancyBox, web analytics, comment plugins and donation links.
• Use more relative length, instead of absolute length in the css.
