Avoid an unstyled rendering moment with the tables of contents

Tables of contents are now statically rendered in their appropriately
open/closed states, rather than updated via JavaScript, so they render
correctly on the first page load. In order to make the "page sections"
table still usable without JS, this adds a stylesheet in a <noscript>
tag that forces the sections into an open state.
