Add new front matter element: excerpt (#227) 
* This commit adds the excerpt front matter element, to show an
abbreviated version of the definition in social previews. This
also includes the documentation updates to support this change.

* This commit adds @olvb's suggestion to use 'set' to define the
alert & preview combo, to avoid repetitive code

* This commit updates the preview text to only include the flag if
it's "avoid" – if the flag is "warning" or there is no flag, it
will not appear at the beginning of the preview text.

Impact

To paraphrase Lewis, ableism "leads to people and society determining who is valuable and worthy based on a person’s appearance and/or their ability to [...] produce, excel, and 'behave.'" You do not have to be disabled to experience ableism, and Disabled people can also reinforce ableism internally (manifesting as harm to themselves) and externally (harm to other disabled people).
