Without the date in the file name, there are some name collisions.
These were resolved by inserting `@{counter}` before the file extension.
A later commit will adjust the static site generator to strip this
disambiguator again, such that permalinks stay intact.
The counter is sorted by date, i.e. `[email protected]` is older than `[email protected]`.
If a previous run of the static site generator created new files, these will be left lying around, even if subsequent runs wouldn't generate that file anymore. This will lead to either a false negative or a false positive. - The file shouldn't be generated and isn't. Tests incorrectly fail because it's still there. - The file should be generated but isn't. Tests incorrectly pass because it's still there.

I snapshot tested this locally, the output is identical. As always, I made an effort to make the individual commits easy to review.
Motivations:
pathkey to the front matter, which contains the explicit URL with the date, in order to be able to migrate to Zola. It will be easier to keepdateandpathin sync. Firstly, because they will be right next to each other, making a discrepancy clearly visible. Secondly, because we already have the front matter strongly typed and tested, so it will be easy to add this simple validation on top.stacked on #1509
