Previously, the `reduce_cooked` handler appended the `.poll-title` element and t…hen the inner HTML of `.poll-container`. Since the markdown rule nests the title inside that container, every poll's title showed up twice in HTML emails — and, since they share the same code path, in digests, embedded comments and RSS feeds too. This change drops the redundant append, leaving the container as the single source of the poll's content, and tightens the email specs to assert on the whole reduced fragment rather than with `include`, which a duplicate satisfies just as well as a single copy. https://meta.discourse.org/t/408875
