Make blockquote p dark green italics

Although blockquote already is set to italic now blockquote p explicitly
sets it. The colour is dark green and the rationale is explained in the
comments as thus:

 /* This rule makes sure that text in <blockquote><p>..</p></blockquote> is
  * coloured right. Note that this MUST BE HERE and not earlier where the
  * 'blockquote' rule is as otherwise the above '.content p' rule would
  * override it.
  *
  * The following rationale with the blockquote rule above (in particular
  * with italics) and the dark green selection, so that this is understood
  * better:
  *
  *	 0.	Purple should NOT be used as this is being used for visited links.
  *	 1.	Blue should NOT be used as this is being used for non-visited links.
  *
  * Now with context this might be okay but links can also be in blockquotes
  * so this alone is reason not to: even if there are underlines in most
  * links. Additionally:
  *
  *	 2. Bold seems to be too strong, especially when used for with a bright
  *	 colour.
  *
  * Bold is used in headings (h1, h2, ..). A bold heading is not too much
  * text (as headings tend to be short single lines): one does not become
  * too tired looking at TOO MANY SHOUTING BOLD LETTERS. It seems preferable
  * to reserve bold for those headings.
  *
  * Conclusions: dark blue seems to be slightly better but unfortunately the
  * headings (h1, h2, ...) is too similar so we use dark green with italics
  * as the choice.
