Infra's been given this list (taken from the sheet linked in #503:

@mburns any chance we can deploy these redirect rules to the docs-beta domain ?

[cwaring]

@mburns: just for context these are all 301 redirects so that the bots will update their indexes correctly, thanks!

[mburns]

@hugomrdias we should deploy these redirects to docs-beta for testing before going live, definitely.

Would it make more sense to have these redirects handled by Vuepress instead of by nginx, managed in a separate (private) git repo? vuepress-plugin-redirect looks kind of relevant, and I see some Github Issues talking about calling addRoutes() directly (vuejs/vuepress#160). Thoughts?

Implementing these redirects via nginx is straightforward enough, if that is what we decide.
