[qutebrowser] FYI: qutebrowser.org migrated to new hoster

Hey,

I finally finished something I've wanted to do since 2017 or so:

qutebrowser.org is now hosted on uberspace[1] rather than my own server (which
is full of technical debt since I've been hosting things since ~2009).

The website now follows various best practices, e.g. setting security headers
like HSTS or Content-Security-Policy[2]; not logging any unecessary data
(logging is disabled entirely unless I need to debug something; and if enabled,
IP adresses are redacted) or having certificate auto-refresh so accidental
"whoops, I forgot to renew the certificate" mishaps should be a thing of the
past :)

Not much should change from an user perspective, though there's one change:
qutebrowser.org/releases which hosted the release archives isn't available
anymore because of space contraints (and to simplify the release process).
All releases are still available via GitHub[3], and source releases are
alternatively available via PyPI[4]. As far as I know, most distribution
packages used one of those two sources anyways, but if you're a packager, you
might want to double check.

Let me know if anything is broken! Note that the "GMail users dropped off the
mailinglist" incident from yesterday is unrelated.

    blog.qutebrowser.org needs it. Fixing that is an exercise for another day!
