Support a `#:margin` mode for `define-footnote` as an alternative to putting footnotes in a section created by a `footnote-part` identifier that is bound by `define-footnote`. The margin format is defined by default CSS, and different CSS magic could make cause a "margin note" to actually render differently. At the footnote, hyperlink its number back to the reference to the footnote, as as typical for many web sites with footnotes. Use `scriblib/render-cond` to specialie Latex output and avoid the double inclusion of content previously warned against in the documentation. Meanwhile, warn against limitations of creating footnotes inside footnotes. For testing, use a strategy that has worked well for Rhombus Scribble (and that probably should be made more reusable).
