Backfill OG images and descriptions for all articles #629

Description

@dergigi

None of the 171 article entries currently have image or description front matter fields. This means sharing any article page on social media shows the generic site default instead of a relevant preview.

Proposed approach:

  • Fetch the OG image and description from each article's source URL (falling back to the archive URL if the original is dead)
  • Mirror OG images locally to assets/images/bitcoin/articles/ to avoid hotlinking and link rot
  • Add description and image fields to each article's front matter
  • The site template already supports both fields, so no layout changes needed

This could be done in batches to keep PRs reviewable.
