Prepare static web redirector from redmine.t.b.o to gitlab.t.b.o

As per the specs:

* [[!tails_ticket NNNN]] and
   links MUST point
  or — possibly transitively — redirect to the relevant GitLab issue.

  Implementation idea: start with a static web redirector, and then:

   - This is sufficient to solve the problem for issues imported into
     our main GitLab project, if they have the same ID as they used to.

   - For issues imported into another GitLab project, we either need
     extra redirection rules based on a mapping from Redmine issue IDs
     to GitLab (project, issue ID) tuples, or placeholder issues on
     GitLab that handle a second redirection step (GitLab might handle
     the redirection itself when an issue is moved from one project to
     another)

The part that has to happen within GitLab is mostly done (modulo some problems that are tracked in dedicated issues).

We need to prepare the static web redirector so we can enable it at a suitable time during the migration:
