TACC/Core-CMS#1033 automates redirect logic. #529 was stepping stone. But this PR does not need those steps nor old code.

Overview
External articles can be managed automatically via script. Snippet unnecessary.
Note
Snippets have already been deleted on prod in favor of the new script, loaded via CDN. But, review welcome to improve/revise solution.
Tip
Tested on dev via v1.1.20-20260201.

Notes
After TUP CMS has TACC/Core-CMS#1033 — i.e. in #535 — I will delete the new script
…/js/ad-hoc/external-articles.js.This is all still a solution that assumes user has JavaScript enabled. Ideally, a server-side solution is implemented instead.
