Layout for Open-Questions revised

[d0ubIeU]

Rework open-questions.twig to provide an accessible, responsive layout, optimized for screenreader
Fix:

• empty collumn on missing permissions or content (disturbed high contrast mode)
• Added semantic table structure (thead, tbody, caption) for improved accessibility and optimized display.
• desktop uses a table with colgroup/aria attributes and mobile uses card-based presentation. -Appearance adapted to startpage
• showActionColumn logic (based on user permission or presence of linked answers) and an info alert for invisible questions.
• Update translations (msgQuestion2) to "Category / Question" in English and German to reflect the combined column label.
• Update QuestionsController to allow guest submissions when records.allowNewFaqsForGuests is enabled (included in userHasPermissionToAnswer check).

Poem

🐰 I hopped through templates, tidy and spry,
I added cards that stack up high,
Guests may answer when settings say "go",
Labels clearer, and ARIA in tow,
A small rabbit's joyful UI hello!
