Port html2pdf and CI improvements from the DeLiKo@DNB poster project

ci/html2pdf:
- Temporarily inject CSS that forces exact A0 dimensions and prevents
  Chrome's print shrinking (restored via trap, also on failure)
- Enable automatic hyphenation with full google-chrome by seeding a
  persistent profile with the hyphen-data component; chrome-headless-shell
  (CI) bundles the dictionaries and needs no help. Language-aware via
  <html lang> with a build-time warning if no dictionary is found
- Work from the input file's directory so relative asset links resolve
- Honor the optional output-path argument (previously silently ignored);
  URLs still bypass injection for the CI smoke test

.gitlab-ci.yml:
- Apt mirror auto-selection with retries and timeouts
- Cache apt archives, ccache, and the R library between runs
- Install Node.js 24 LTS (distro Node 18 is EOL and too old for
  current @puppeteer/browsers)
- Install emoji/symbol fonts; add ghostscript and an A1 downscale step
