Chris Morgan eb7751955a WIP: add an 'updated' field to pages
Also change a few other things to use it, as noted in CHANGELOG.md.

TODO:

- Write a couple of tests: updated field, last_updated template variable

One slight open questions: should `updated` default to the value of
`date` rather than to None? Then pages with `date` could safely assume
`updated`.

Zola will look for a sitemap.xml file in the templates directory or use the built-in one.

If your site has more than 30 000 pages, it will automatically split the links into multiple sitemaps, as recommended by Google:

All formats limit a single sitemap to 50MB (uncompressed) and 50,000 URLs. If you have a larger file or more URLs, you will have to break your list into multiple sitemaps. You can optionally create a sitemap index file (a file that points to a list of sitemaps) and submit that single index file to Google.

In such a case, Zola will use a template called split_sitemap_index.xml to render the index sitemap.

The sitemap.xml template gets a single variable:

  • entries: all pages of the site, as a list of SitemapEntry

A SitemapEntry has the following fields:

permalink: String;
updated: String?;
extra: Hashmap<String, Any>?;

The split_sitemap_index.xml also gets a single variable:

  • sitemaps: a list of permalinks to the sitemaps
