Reverts #43. Probably most regulars have taken advantage of this redirect as of now. I do not think we need it anymore.

GA4GH TRS endpoints expect paths ending in nothing, no trailing slash. They additionally have the structure

/blah/1
/blah/1/GALAXY/descriptor

Which obviously doesn't work since we aren't responding to an exact URL but trying to map it to a file. So internally we will call the files 1.json and descriptor.json, and then have nginx strip that out so it just all works

During the 11th and 12th of June 2023, visitors of usegalaxy.eu were redirected to a blog post (because of maintenance operations), but using a 301 HTTP redirect. This kind of redirect is cached forever by most browsers. Those users need now to clear the browser's cache to access usegalaxy.eu again, but if the news do not reach them, or they do not know how to clear the cache, then they will think that usegalaxy.eu is down forever. As a a workaround, this directive creates a redirection loop, which should invalidate the cache for most browsers.
