Research direction

Start at the Link Previews stack integration and search for the existing linenums usage and modified prettify dependency. Confirm how the linenum JavaScript is included in Stacks, then update the naming to s-link-preview--linenumbers. Done means Link Previews retain working line numbers without relying on the modified third-party library.

Description

Following up on #449, @gdalgas wants to:

Would it be possible to include the linenum JS as part of stacks instead of relying on a modified 3rd party library? That way we could have full control over things like naming and implementation. We are using prettify for this currently: https://wet-boew.github.io/v4.0-ci/demos/prettify/prettify-en.html

Yes, let's do that! Aaron suggested changing linenums to s-link-preview--linenumbers while we're there.
