     add nc.torproject.org for nextcloud (#32267)

     This points to the static mirrors for redirection, using the "vanity
     hosts" macro.

     The rationale is that our users might not be familiar with the .net
     and .org distinction. Even if they do, they might not know we don't
     manage this machine directly. Instead, they will probably look for
     nc.tpo and fail and complain to us. So we should help people a little
     here and make an exception for this domain which would be possibly
     heavily used.

     This is especially relevant since we *might* eventually use `.org` for
     this purpose and manage the Nextcloud service ourselves.

     But we don't do just a CNAME to the end server here: we do a redirect
     so the canonical URL remains the `.net` one, to clearly show this is
     not managed by TPA or the service admin team.
