Optimized nested navigation rendering: don't cross template boundary (#2213)

The number of calls to sub-templates when rendering the navigation is O(n^2) relative to the number of pages. This is the only such instance, which is why I think this is worth optimizing.

The optimization here doesn't improve the complexity, it just removes the overhead of instantiating a new Jinja template for each of these calls.

E.g. for 710 pages on the site, the number of calls to Jinja's `get_template` (implying `new_context` and others) crosses a million ==(710**2)*2. They're not expensive but also not super cheap, and add up to a big percentage of overall site build times.
