Redirect https://www.legalese.com to https://legalese.com #253

Dnsimple does not do https redirects: https://support.dnsimple.com/articles/redirector-https/

Why is no https redirects a problem? In most modern browsers, when something like domain.com is entered, the browser attempts to send the request as https://www.domain.com

So a request is made to https://www.legalese.com. However, no redirect to root at https://legalese.com exists, because no https redirect. So, no https://www.legalese.com.

Dnsimple describes how to redirect www to not-www with HTTPS at https://support.dnsimple.com/articles/redirect-heroku/#redirect-https

This requires access to the Heroku ssl deployment of our nice Legalese Pte. Ltd EV SSL cert which virgil controls. So he can fix that, or ideally transfer control of the cert deployment to clause.

With the deployment of keycdn and the certsimple cert there,

work. https://www.legalese.com requires an additional letsencrypt cert for keycdn, which virgil has very nicely offered to do. In the meantime, Chrome does redirect www to not-www even if the cert is only for not-www.
