decruft: drop animate.css + WOW entirely (−78 KB)

Removed both npm deps (animate.css, wowjs), their imports from src/legacy-style.js
and src/main.js, and the 4 `new WOW().init()` calls (about/studio/art/desk.js) —
those would otherwise crash now that window.WOW is gone (the Modernizr pattern).
The 26 inert .wow/fadeIn* classes stay in markup (trivial to re-enable). Rebuilt:
v4-style.min.css 348→278 KB, v4-script.min.js 511→503 KB. All pages 200.
