feat(v2): simplify blog metadata to minimize number of request

CHANGELOG-2.x.md

@@ -9,6 +9,7 @@
 - Refactor dark toggle into a hook.
 - Changed the way we read the `USE_SSH` env variable during deployment to be the same as in v1.
 - Fix accessing `docs/` or `/docs/xxxx` that does not match any existing doc page should return 404 (Not found) page, not blank page.
+- Simplify blog metadata. Previously, accessing `/blog/post-xxx` will request for next and prev blog post metadata too aside from target post metadata. We should only request target post metadata.  
 - Prioritize `@docusaurus/core` dependencies/ node_modules over user's node_modules. This fix a bug whereby if user has core-js@3 on its own node_modules but docusaurus depends on core-js@2, we previously encounter `Module not found: core-js/modules/xxxx` (because core-js@3 doesn't have that).
 Another example is if user installed webpack@3 but docusaurus depends on webpack@4.
 - Added code block line highlighting feature (thanks @lex111)! If you have previously swizzled the `CodeBlock` theme component, it is recommended to update your source code to have this feature.
