Rationale: like the content of files.gap-system.org, the manuals are big and not stored on github. By moving them to a separate subdomain, we gain flexibility, eg www, docs and files could in principle be served by different machines.

I've set this up in principle:

So right now, both of these work.

Next would be to have the former redirect to the latter, and then update all our links to reference the new addresses.

I've now also arranged it so that we have a crude versioning scheme going on:

Both work and deliver what one might expect... and https://docs.gap-system.org/doc/ref/chap0.html still works. Internally this is for now just a symlink to v4.12.0; it could be turned into a redirect instead; that way bookmarks would end up referencing the URL with a specific version in it, which I think is "better".

Much more could be done with regards to versioning the manuals (e.g. for packages), but I'll try not to get sidetracked too much here.

I have now enabled the redirects, so that all manual links now redirect to the separate subdomain.
