Progress

Switched to tomli from toml for Heron because of this bug. I found this bug when I stored my loaded files with their toml metadata into a pickle file. Which means that generated content is now cached between runs, making site updates much faster for me. I also found out that changing a file during a live-reload cycle leads to a reload loop.
I added collection sub-directories to Heron, so now I can organise my weeklogs better. You should not have noticed anything about the files, however.
