Bug description

.htaccess customization lost after every update

Steps to reproduce

1. get notification about new version, login in my NC web as admin and check
2. run in server console 'sudo -u www-data php /var/www-nextcloud/updater/updater.phar'
3. update goes smooth and ends "Update of code successful" and then runs "occ upgrade", which ends with "Update successful"
4. but then I get 500. error, because setup deletes '.htaccess' customization:

<FilesMatch .php>
# Apache 2.4.10+ can proxy to unix socket
SetHandler "proxy:unix:/var/run/php/php8.3-fpm.sock|fcgi://localhost/"

which is BELLOW:

DO NOT CHANGE ANYTHING ABOVE THIS LINE

default PHP on server is 8.4, which is not yet supported

after re-adding my '.htaccess' customization, NC runs great

Expected behavior

anything bellow

DO NOT CHANGE ANYTHING ABOVE THIS LINE

remains in .htaccess

[TasPats]

adjusted my Nextcloud vhosts file, all additional .htaccess functionality now there

p.s.
interestingly (or may be not), in .htaccess file is two lines from some "prehistory" time:

## DO NOT CHANGE ANYTHING ABOVE THIS LINE ##

ErrorDocument 403 /index.php/error/403
ErrorDocument 404 /index.php/error/404

and they stays unchanged ever
