Add civictech.ca as managed domain

[patcon]

Putting this together as a proposal for Civic Tech Toronto hacknight organizers (with heads-up to Code for Canada).

This PR involves copying out DNS records from EasyDNS (where they were managed by logging in with privileged credentials; see screenshot below), to Cloudflare (where they will be managed via pull requests to this repo).

This also involved migrating some "mailmaps" (aka email forwarders) from EasyDNS (see screenshot below) to forwardemail.net, which can also be managed from this repo.

This also retires a small and obscure redirector app that was being used to forward urls like calgary.civictech.ca => https://www.meetup.com/CivicTechYYC-Tech-for-Good/ . Instead of using that app for redirects (with its own non-obvious config file), this PR relies on a better redirector app created by @ronnywang of @g0v, which allows all the redirect information to live in the DNS records themselves, instead of a separate config file.

Risks: loss of user-friendly EasyDNS UI. technical barrier of using GitHub and/or YAML. will eventually override any changes made in Cloudflare UI. patcon is bottleneck if it breaks.

Benefits: theoretically DNS records more visible/accessible to community members. easier to discuss requests. can be annotated with metadata like point of contact and code repository. know who added/changed things via git history. redirect config stored in one place, not two.

Steps to complete

See HOWTO doc for details: https://github.com/g0v-network/domains/blob/main/docs/HOWTO.md#add-a-new-domain

• add civictech.ca placeholder to g0v cloudflare account
• ensure API key can manage new civictech.ca domain
• merge this PR
• point easydns nameservers to use cloudflare nameservers: clyde.ns.cloudflare.com & tina.ns.cloudflare.com
  • log into EasyDNS, and click "Domains" then "nameservers" for civictech.ca domain
• test that changes take affect (see doc above)
