Jeremy Scott requested to merge 2974_manually_selected_related_posts into master

Why is this change being made?

Resolves #2974 (closed)

Blog authors can now add header matter in the following fashion to select up to 3 related posts:

- related_posts:
  - relative/url/of/related_post_1/
  - relative/url/of/related_post_1/
  - relative/url/of/related_post_1/

If omitted and for backwards compatibility, the three most recent posts from the category are selected.

Posts are found based on the URL and populated into a section before the newsletter but after the post with the headline of "The latest from our blog" and takes styling from the front page for blog post cards.
