Needs a manual redeploy on the box (re-run 02-website/setup.sh, or copy nginx-cli-detect.conf into /etc/nginx/conf.d/ + reload) since installing files outside the passwordless sudo scope requires interactive sudo.

Adds a $cli_ext map (conf.d, http-level) that nginx-site.conf uses to prefer a page's .txt sibling over .html when the request looks like a CLI client (curl/wget/httpie) or asks for text/plain. Pairs with zach/zach.town#curl-plaintext-pages, which adds the .txt pages.

Serve plain-text pages to curl/wget/httpie clients 8e2c7608dc

Adds a $cli_ext map (conf.d, since map needs http{} context) that
nginx-site.conf uses to prefer a page's .txt sibling over its .html
when the request looks like a CLI client or asks for text/plain.
Pairs with the .txt pages added in the zach.town repo.
