Axe accessibility test support (alshedivat#2080)

Added GitHub action to do axe accessibility tests with [axe
cli](https://github.com/dequelabs/axe-core-npm/tree/develop/packages/cli).
I believe it is best by default to let this be run only manually, since
fixing some of the issues are not straightforward (I haven't fixed them
all for this template yet).

 By default, there will be a related posts section on the bottom of the blog posts. These are generated by selecting the `max_related` most recent posts that share at least `min_common_tags` tags with the current post. If you do not want to display related posts on a specific post, simply add `related_posts: false` to the front matter of the post. If you want to disable it for all posts, simply set `enabled` to false in the `related_blog_posts` section in [\_config.yml](_config.yml).
 
+#### Code quality checks
+
+Currently, we run some checks to ensure that the code quality and generated site are good. The checks are done using GitHub Actions and the following tools:
+
+- [Prettier](https://prettier.io/) - check if the formatting of the code follows the style guide
+- [lychee](https://lychee.cli.rs/) - check for broken links
+- [Axe](https://github.com/dequelabs/axe-core) (need to run manually) - do some accessibility testing
+
+We decided to keep `Axe` runs manual because fixing the issues are not straightforward and might be hard for people without web development knowledge.
