Transition to NGINX

1. Initial testing strategy is to move NGINX to port 80, and proxy everything to Apache on port 8090 -- creating a shim.

2. Without PHP available via FastCGI, any function at all for PHP-based applications validates NGINX.

3. Current state (2020-01-12).

   1. Principal functions migrated to NGINX

      • Admin Console
      • kalite -- goes directly to port 8009
      • mediawiki
      • osm-vector-maps
      • usb-lib
      • wordpress

   2. Dual support, see https://github.com/iiab/iiab/blob/master/roles/nginx/tasks/only_nginx.yml

      • calibre-web
      • gitea
      • kiwix -- goes directly to port 3000
