Last step in implementing #883.
Before reviewing, please read (and perhaps comment on) description of the PR state tagging vocabulary that was applied through the whole PR queue this week: https://github.com/cardano-foundation/CIPs/wiki/301.-State-tagging
1 - The lists of candidate CIPs and CPSs can no longer be sorted by the candidate CIP number as they were in the manually generated tables. Interestingly, GitHub cannot do this. This is a toss-up: maybe before it was easier to find a particular proposal & now it's easiest to find the oldest or newest proposals (plus the user can change to a different sort ordering if they want, add more search terms, etc.).
2 - If any wrong items show up on these dynamically generated lists, it means somehow a preposterous set of tags has been applied. Some care is applied to the queries to prevent this in many cases (i.e. filtering out any "administrative" tagged proposals, even though they generally are not supposed to have a "state" in the review process).
3 - The deleted lists had many likely-abandoned proposals even after I made regular cullings of closed proposals. The list of "actively reviewed" CIP/CPS PRs is actually quite small & manageable. Likewise the total PR queue will be rather small once the "Stalled" proposals are either closed or the current & ongoing attention causes the authors to revive and progress them (I will be happy either way).
