Setup URL forwarding with plain HTML files #46

We were using subdomain forwarding (calendar.fatiando.org) for some hard to remember URLs. This unfortunately doesn't work with HTTPS, leading to some broken links and ugly warnings from browsers about potential danger. Replace those with a simple HTML redirection structure in subfolders. For example, fatiando.org/calendar now redirects to the Google calendar link. Same for fatiando.org/slack and fatiando.org/good-first-issue. There are instructions in the README for adding new forwards. A caveat is that we now have to be careful with the subfolders we create here. But that's probably not going to be a problem since this website is intentionally not very elaborate (it links to other resources).

Reminders:
