Description of proposed changes

The previous "links" relied on onClick which is bad for accessibility. If div is still desired, the link role would be appropriate.¹ Or, use an anchor element instead, as done in this commit.

// FIXME: Do we actually need dispatch and changePage here? I've removed them for now.

This is my main concern - it's not clear to me what dispatch and changePage were used for. Seems to work fine without it.

The behaviour will be a little different -- dispatching stays within the SPA, whereas links will go to a new URL, fetch the auspice HTML entrypoint, fetch the auspice JS (cache hit), reparse the JS and so on. In practice, the Auspice splash page within nextstrain.org is used rarely - perhaps only for community data?

P.S. I've wanted proper link behaviour for a while now, especially in the default Auspice splash page.
