Subject: [PATCH] feat(support): route support and feedback to Discord

The header and both footers now link to the #word-aligner-support
channel on Discord instead of opening the Tally form. The About page's
Contact block leads with Discord and keeps the Tally form and email as
alternatives; Privacy and Terms point to the form's new home there.
