Add stacked toast notification component

CHANGELOG.md

 ## unreleased
 
  - AWS Lambda builds and documentation now use the supported Amazon Linux 2023 custom runtime instead of the end-of-life Amazon Linux 2 runtime. Release artifacts include the configuration directory required on Lambda's read-only filesystem.
+ - Added a `toast` component with plain-text or Markdown content, icons, colors, six screen placements, configurable auto-dismiss timing, optional manual dismissal, URL-fragment triggers, and automatic stacking of queued notifications.
  - `sqlpage.send_mail` now supports rich email bodies. Use `body_html` for a caller-provided HTML alternative, or `body_md` to render Markdown as HTML. Messages retain a plain-text alternative; `body` may be omitted when `body_md` is used, and `body_md` and `body_html` cannot be combined.
  - Form `options_source` URLs now preserve existing query parameters when adding the dynamic `search` parameter.
