Add a `development` environment config that sets `buildFuture = true`, so content whose front matter `date` is in the future is rendered when previewing the site locally with `hugo server`. This makes it possible to review a blog post that is scheduled for a future publication date before that date arrives. The production build (`hugo --minify`, run by the deploy workflow) is unaffected, so such a post is still left out of the published site until its date arrives.
