Add a 'Sort by' dropdown to the Open Issues tab on the /contributing page, allowing users to sort issues by: - Default (server-rendered order) - Newest first (fewest open days) - Oldest first (most open days) Sorting works by parsing the '(Open X days)' text already present in each issue title. Both issues within each library and the libraries themselves are sorted. Sort and filter selections are preserved in URL parameters and restored on page load / back button. Changes: - contributing/open_issues.html: Add sort dropdown, add id to label filter select for cleaner JS targeting - assets/javascript/contributing.js: Rewrite to support both label filtering and age-based sorting with original order restore - assets/sass/pages/_contributing.scss: Add flexbox layout for the filter/sort controls Fixes adafruit#645

Simplify sorting by reading days_open from the issue data via a data attribute on each li element, replacing the regex title parser.
Sort library groups alongside issues when using Newest/Oldest sort. Libraries are ordered by their best matching issue (min days for newest, max days for oldest). Default restores alphabetical order. - Add id='libraries-list' to top ul for reliable targeting - Add getBestDays() helper to find representative issue age per library - Restore both library and issue order when switching back to Default
