Minor optimizations in CSS files to shed some weight (#612)

- Removes px suffix from 0px.
- Combines CSS properties where they are immediately overridden in the same selector block, or can be combined without side effects.

This saves about 50 bytes off the CSS scripts. it ain't much but it's honest work

Micro Optimizations - Round #2

* .gitignore: Remove redundant entry

* Minor optimizations with ternary operators

* Use `const` instead of `define()` where appropriate

Micro Optimizations - Round #2

* .gitignore: Remove redundant entry

* Minor optimizations with ternary operators

* Use `const` instead of `define()` where appropriate

`const` is quite faster because of the compile-time optimizations. Because the replaced statements are not declaring constant conditionally, it's safe to use `const` in all of these places.

Closes GH-608.

Multiple micro-optimizations

* Replace `ob_get_contents();ob_clean()` with `ob_get_clean()`

`ob_get_clean()` is equivalent to `ob_get_contents()` followed by `ob_clean()`.

Multiple micro-optimizations

* Replace `ob_get_contents();ob_clean()` with `ob_get_clean()`

`ob_get_clean()` is equivalent to `ob_get_contents()` followed by `ob_clean()`.

* Replace `intval()` calls with `(int)` type cast

This is a micro-optimization because `intval()` is a function call, and the type cast is about 6 times fast.

* Replace `preg_replace` call that could be done with an `rtrim()` call

In `./error.php`, there is a `preg_replace('!/+$!', '', $URI);` call that essentially is equivalent to `rtrim()`, that both calls removing trailing slash characters in `$URI`.
The `rtim()` call is more legible and faster.

* Combine consecutive `str_replace` calls to a single `str_replace` call

* Use short ternary operator where possible

Improves code readability.

* Cascade various `else` statements where possible

Cleans up the code by removing unnecessary `else` blocks and moving the code to the parent context if the previous `if` block exits the function by either terminating the script, or with a `return` statement.

* Combine multiple `isset()` calls to a single `isset()`

`isset()` accepts multiple parameters and returns `true` only if all of the parameters are `isset`. It makes sense to combine multiple individual `isset` calls to a single call for better readability.

* Replace `for` loop with a `foreach` loop

* Remove unnecessary character escapes in regular expressions

Regular expression special characters are context-sensitive. For example, special characters such as `.` are not considered special within square braces (`[]`).
This removes several of such instances that certain characters are escaped, but it is not strictly necessary within the context. This improves the readability of the expression.

* Remove unnecessary break statement

* Remove unnecessary PHP close tags

* Remove redundant JSON_ERROR_NONE check

Remove unnecessary `json_last_error() == JSON_ERROR_NONE` where the decoded object is inspected already.
