Massively improve the que-website

curl was throwing an exception if the file got too long, because I was
passing the entire file contents in the arguments to curl. I tried using
a tmp file but that didn't work for some reason. So I switched to req
and that seems to work well.

I also made it faster by serving all pages concurrently, and I spruced
up the CSS a ton.

-Lets say we are running a job that takes a long time, maybe we are
-compiling or running a large test suite. Instead of watching the
-terminal until it completes, or flipping back to check on it every so
-often, we can create a listener that displays a popup notification when
-the job finishes.
-
-In one terminal run the listener:
-
-    que example/notify --then "notify-send '\que' '\msg'"
-
-In some other terminal run the job that takes forever:
-
-    runtests ; echo "tests are done" | que example/notify -
-
-When terminal 2 succeeds, terminal 1 will print "tests are done", then
-call the `notify-send` command, which displays a notification toast in
-Linux with title "`example/notify`" and content "`tests are done`".
-
-Que paths are multi-producer and multi-consumer, so you can add as many
-terminals as you want.
-
-On macOS you could use:
-
-    osascript -e 'display notification "\msg" with title "\que"'
-
-in place of notify-send.
