Redirect to https://*.namecoin.org #91

The following got unanimous ACKs from Domob, Phelix, Jeremy, and PMC:

Currently, wiki.namecoin.org is broken and forum.namecoin.org loads using the SSL cert for namecoin.info. I requested that this be changed, but the rational behind it is that a redirect would force users to re-login and alter saved passwords. This was enough to quell debate during an IRC meeting that I was not present for.

The usability issues are fairly straightforward: forcing the dozen or so active forum users to relogin vs having a uniform URL for all uses. At the very least, wiki.namecoin.org should be working and forum.namecoin.org should use the namecoin.org certificate.

I think that all namecoin.info URLs should be redirected to their namecoin.org equivalents, as we are now splitting SEO power across the domains. This would also simplify administration.

I would like to clarify that this ticket is for:

As long as the content is identical Google, will continue to point to the highest ranked domain. Unless we indicate that namecoin.org is canonical using a 301 redirect, Namecoin.info will continue to dominate the first page of Google results.

Bonus: after traffic to namecoin.info has dropped off, we can stop paying for wildcard TLS certificate for namecoin.info.
