Improve gradients

- Use a semitransparent gradient from light to dark which works on any background-color
- Store the gradient as a custom property (--bs-gradient)
- Remove `.bg-gradient-*` variants in favour of `.bg-gradient` which works even when `$enable-gradients` are enabled
- Add gradients to navbar, active page links and badges when gradients are enabled

 ## Background gradient
 
-When `$enable-gradients` is set to `true` (default is `false`), you can use `.bg-gradient-` utility classes. [Learn about our Sass options]({{< docsref "/customize/sass" >}}) to enable these classes and more.
+By adding a `.bg-gradient` class, a linear gradient is added as background image to the backgrounds. This gradient starts with a semi-transparent white which fades out to the bottom.
+
+Do you need a gradient in your custom CSS? Just add `background-image: var(--bs-gradient);`.
