Supplemental Artifacts

Moves link styles for Latest Posts, Latest Comments, Categories (List), and Archives blocks to the Widgets section of the stylesheet (after Entry Content)

Related: ​Issue 442 / ​PR 548

The Latest Posts links have an underline on hover/focus when in a widget area, but the Entry Content styles are later in the stylesheet and override block styles within the post content.

Using !important is too much, and I would prefer not to increase specificity either (as ​PR 548 did for Latest Comments). The link styles for Latest Posts and similar blocks could be moved after the Entry Content styles.

I did not notice a difference when changing the editor stylesheets, so I did not include those in 62255.1.patch​.
