The 301s that retire the WHMCS knowledgebase existed only on secure.anhonesthost.com. WHMCS rewrites .htaccess during some updates, which would silently drop them.

Adds deploy/whmcs-kb-redirects.conf plus a README covering install location, reinstall steps, and the two traps (colliding article/category IDs where rule order is load-bearing, and the ignored slug).

Docs-only — no site content changes.

chore: version-control the WHMCS KB redirect rules 063f992516

These 301s live in .htaccess on secure.anhonesthost.com and existed only
on that server. WHMCS rewrites .htaccess during some updates, which would
silently drop them — every retired KB URL would start 404ing with nothing
in version control to restore from.

deploy/README.md documents where it installs, how to reinstall, and the
two traps: article/category IDs collide (only the trailing .html tells
them apart, so rule order is load-bearing) and the slug is ignored.
