Subject: [PATCH] ads: add in-content 728x90 banner to gear, technology, forum,
 authors
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

These four landing pages already had the site-wide header leaderboard
via <Header />, but no additional in-content banner. Add one 728x90
slot at the bottom of the main column on each, gated on
ADS_728X90.length > 0 and hidden on mobile to match the header
banner's display rules.

  - /gear            — category landing
  - /technology      — category landing
  - /forum           — community landing
  - /authors/[slug]  — author profile

Brings these pages in line with /show-coverage and /about/* which got
the same treatment earlier.
