Student Welcome Guide: batch fixes from changes-2 review (EN/MK/SI)

Layout / CSS (css/pages/_guide.css):
- Left-align .guide-checklist and .guide-steps (margin 16px 0) so bullet
  lists no longer drift right inside the flex article-body.
- Make .guide-table-wrap shrink to the viewport (width:100%; min-width:0)
  so wide tables scroll horizontally on mobile instead of overflowing.
- Add a reusable .guide-cta pill button for inline calls to action.

Content, applied across all three languages:
- Replace the info-pill row (guide-meta) on every guide page with a
  "Last checked" eyebrow above the title.
- application-deadlines: correct "North Macedonian citizen" to
  "Citizen of North Macedonia".
- study-cities: reword the "X map:" run-on paragraphs, give Nova Gorica
  and Celje proper strengths/challenges bullet lists.
- tuition-and-scholarships: fix the leftover "Link the exact call" note
  and add a prominent SRIPS 380th-call button.
- student-accommodation: retitle to "full-time student", delete the SRCe
  brokerage paragraph, add an ownership-check (land register / GURS)
  paragraph.
- prepare-to-move: add bus, flight, airport-transfer and car-sharing
  providers with links.
- administrative-basics: link the DR-02 form and FURS tax-number page and
  the bank-account blog; remove the "A common sequence" section.
- official-sources-and-checklists: remove the "Checklists to build"
  section and the pre-publication reminder sentence, and tidy the meta
  description that referenced the removed section.

Useful routes: private rental, faculty-supported boarding-home enquiries, and non-subsidised dijaski dom places where available. As a self-funded foreign degree student you cannot get a subsidised Studentski dom place, but some boarding homes that are not full take students on a non-subsidised basis, usually arranged through your faculty (for example Dijaski dom Vic, Gerbiceva 52a).</p>
