Restore the document metadata dropped when the pages were ported - #505

An APT document opens with a header block giving its title, authors and date, and doxia-converter turns that into YAML front matter. The port removed the front matter along with the converter's per-line licence comments, so the generated pages lost their author and date meta tags, and took their title from the first heading rather than from the document title. The front matter has to come first in the file: the Markdown parser only looks for it when the source begins with "---". A licence header ahead of it would hide it, and RAT is happy either way.

The site pages lost their document metadata when they were ported from APT.

Building one project's site from the APT sources and from the ported Markdown shows the
difference:

Verified by building the site before and after and comparing
<title>and the authormeta tags of every generated page, and by confirming the front matter does not reach
the rendered body.
