Overlay scrollbars via OverlayScrollbars

overflow: overlay is dead in current Chromium, so an appearing native
scrollbar shifted the layout again. OverlayScrollbars replaces it with
floating auto-hiding scrollbars that never reserve space (native window
scroll APIs unaffected on a body target). Themed via --os-* variables in
pagerite.css; the html scrollbar-color styling stays as no-JS fallback.
(package-lock.json is gitignored.)
