Remove maximum-scale=1 from viewport meta tag

The maximum-scale=1 attribute prevents low-vision users from magnifying the page in some browsers. This isn't applicable to browsers like Safari in iOS 10+, but it would still be ideal to accommodate the aforementioned users for other browsers. Also, this results in a Lighthouse score penalty for accessibility. Alternatively, we could increase maximum-scale to 5 or above if removing it results in a known UI/UX regression I haven't looked into.
