improve news.html and mastodon info

Browse Source 
Added "2024-04-20" news update.

Fixed format for "2023-05-22" news.

Fixed bad links to `judges.html`.

Add "Jump to: top" near the bottom.

The `make gen_top_html` no longer builds `next/rules.html`
nor `next/guidelines.html`.  This is being done by
the `bin/gen-status.sh` tool and `make gen_status`.

Moved `make gen_top_html` after `make gen_status` in the top level
Makefile rules for `make www` and `make quick_www` because
`bin/gen-status.sh` uses the modification date of `news.html` (that
make gen_top_html might modify) when forming `status.json`.

Added FAQ 6.12 for "What is Mastodon and why does IOCCC use it?".

Simplified `contact.html` mastodon info to refer the above FAQ
for further mastodon information.

Changed `bin/gen-top-html.sh` VERSION from "1.4.2 2024-04-21"
to "1.4.3 2024-04-21".

The `bin/gen-status.sh` tool will build `next/rules.html` and/or
`next/guidelines.html` if they are missing or empty.

Changed `bin/gen-status.sh` VERSION from "1.3 2024-04-14"
to "1.4 2024-04-21".

Run `make gen_top_html gen_status` to perform the above.
