Modernize forum threadlist layout

Chris Oelmueller requested to merge 962-modernize-threadlist into master

What does this MR do?

  • modernize layout (flexbox instead of float/clear-based) of forum threadlist
  • drastically improve responsive behavior on medium and small screen widths
  • add some CSS comments for the "more interesting" frontend decisions

How confident are you it won't break things if deployed?

Very confident
