Improve SEO by standardizing URLs with trailing slashes and integrating IndexNow

for faster search engine indexing

- Add post-deployment IndexNow ping to notify Bing and Yandex of site updates
- Update canonical, alternate, and structured data URLs to include trailing
  slashes
- Remove hardcoded IndexNow key file, embedding key directly in workflow for
  simplicity
- Adjust sitemap URLs accordingly to maintain consistency
