write a .htaccess file that redirects page requests to nightlies.apache.org

[pjfanning]

eg https://pekko.apache.org/docs/pekko/current/ redirecting to
https://nightlies.apache.org/pekko/docs/pekko/main-snapshot/docs/

I added an .htaccess file to do that test-wise to the staging branch:

E.g.

• https://pekko.staged.apache.org/docs/pekko-http/snapshot/common/marshalling.html
• https://pekko.staged.apache.org/docs/pekko/snapshot/typed/guide/tutorial_2.html

Now also added redirects to Javadoc and Scaladoc:

• https://pekko.staged.apache.org/api/pekko/snapshot/org/apache/pekko/persistence/DeleteSnapshotsFailure.html
• https://pekko.staged.apache.org/japi/pekko-http/snapshot/org/apache/pekko/http/scaladsl/model/headers/Access$minusControl$minusExpose$minusHeaders$.html

It seems to work well enough but, in fact, using RewriteRule ... [P] will mean that the reverse proxying might not be optimally working. Not sure, if that is a problem in practice with the nightly and the website server sitting close enough to each other.

This is done and committed - https://github.com/apache/incubator-pekko-site/blob/main/src/main/paradox/.htaccess

@jrudolph I tried to just tidy up the branches but now the .htaccess redirects have stopped working. Would you be able to have a look? I can't see anything that has changed in the .htaccess file and maybe the background job that the ASF runs to publish the site after the commits is no longer supporting the .htaccess.

@jrudolph I worked around the issue and just republished the .htaccess file
