v2.5.3

Following the 14 October 2021 release, this release continues optimisations to how vf-stack distributes vertical spacing.

With vf-stack now more broadly adopted, spacing now "just works" in the vast majority of cases. vf-stack now moves to version 3.0.0 and drops the !important rules allowing for utility-class based overrides where required.

We've also introduced a new vf-tabs feature for linking to a page and activating a specific tab.

Read below for details on the changes in each component.

Oh, and you'll also now see an overhaul to the component previews.
