This change extracts the expensive `site.Pages` filtering logic for superuser social links into a dedicated partial and uses `partialCached` with language-specific caching. This reduces the time complexity from $O(N \times P)$ to $O(N \times L)$, where $N$ is the number of pages, $P$ is total pages rendered, and $L$ is the number of languages.

- Created `layouts/partials/navbar_social_links.html` with the filtering logic.
- Updated `layouts/partials/navbar.html` to call the new partial using `partialCached`.
