feat(about): refresh Awards & Mentions section

Replace the ERTnews mention with three new recognitions (Innovation in
Politics Awards 2026, EPSA 2025-26, WIRED Greece) and rebuild the layout
as a single cohesive panel.

The previous card grid rendered logos at inconsistent visual weights with
misaligned text and a floating link icon. The section is now a bordered
panel with hairline dividers, per-logo optical sizing, baseline-aligned
titles/subtitles, and the external-link icon pinned to each cell's corner.
Also stops the global a:hover underline from applying to the cards.
