serve blog images from root-relative /img/ path

Rewrite absolute img.cleberg.net URLs to /img/ in production builds so the
onion serves images from its own origin instead of fetching them off-onion.
Dev builds keep the absolute URLs so local previews still load images.

Requires the server to serve /var/www/img/ at /img/ on the cleberg.net
vhost (ln -s /var/www/img /var/www/cleberg.net/img).
