Since Scribe launched, the Redirector extension config has needed
occasional attention. Using regular expressions to cover all edge cases
is difficult. After finding out that Scribe's current config can hang
websites, I decided that [LibRedirect] is likely a more robust
solution. It can rely on more than regular expressions, and is less
work to set up.

Instead of providing long detailed instructions for how to configure
the Redirector extension, this provides a single json file that users
can import. I started by making a single file stored in the
`public/assets` directory, but then realized this was a regression since
the instructions were customized to each domain. Instead I can use
Lucky's [data] response to dynamically build the JSON config.

handling-responses
This specifies advanced options for configuring the Redirector
extension. If everything is let on (like images) things will break
(like images). It also improves the regular expression a bit to account
for the image CDN
