ae37e9b723 Add a diagnostic page for testing logos (#2890)
It can be helpful to have some diagnostic pages for development and quality control. I added one here for the logos, which renders all the named logos in ?style=flat and ?style=social.

d8ce045ead Adopt Gatsby (#2906)
While Next.js can handle static sites, we've had a few issues with it, notably a performance hit at runtime and some bugginess around routing and SSR. Gatsby being fully intended for high-performance static sites makes it a great technical fit for the Shields frontend. The `createPages()` API should be a really nice way to add a page for each service family, for example.

This migrates the frontend from Next.js to Gatsby. Gatsby is a powerful tool, which has a bit of downside as there's a lot to dig through. Overall I found configuration easier than Next.js. There are a lot of plugins and for the most part they worked out of the box. The documentation is good.

Links are cleaner now: there is no #. This will break old links though perhaps we could add some redirection to help with that. The only one I’m really concerned about `/#/endpoint`. I’m not sure if folks are deep-linking to the category pages.

There are a lot of enhancements we could add, in order to speed up the site even more. In particular we could think about inlining the SVGs rather than making separate requests for each one.

While Gatsby recommends GraphQL, it's not required. To keep things simple and reduce the learning curve, I did not use it here.
