Add BreadcrumbList schema

1. Add BreadcrumbList JSON-LD with itemListElement for each level of the page hierarchy.

Why this matters

Breadcrumbs in the SERP replace ugly URL paths like `/blog/2024/07/my-post-slug` with "Home > Blog > My Post". Cleaner, more clickable, more trustworthy.

Breadcrumbs also help Google understand your site structure — which pages are hubs, which are leaves — for better internal ranking distribution.
