Redirect the homeserver root path to any enabled web client, not just Element Web

Browse Source 
Visiting the homeserver's root path used to redirect to Element Web,
but only when Element Web was the client the playbook installed. People
running Cinny, Commet, FluffyChat, Hydrogen, SchildiChat or Sable landed
on a bare homeserver page instead.

The wiring now builds matrix_playbook_public_client_urls — the public
URLs of every playbook-managed web client which is enabled, ordered by
preference — and redirects to the first of them. Element Web stays
first, so existing setups redirect exactly where they did before.

The URL is computed once and shared by all five homeserver
implementations, which each carried their own copy of the old
Element-Web-only expression. It honours each client's own scheme,
hostname and path prefix, so a client served under a subpath now gets
linked correctly.

## The homeserver root path redirects to clients other than Element Web
Visiting `https://matrix.example.com/` used to redirect you to [Element Web](docs/configuring-playbook-client-element-web.md), but only if Element Web was the client installed by the playbook. With any of the other web clients (Cinny, Commet, FluffyChat, Hydrogen, SchildiChat, Sable), you would land on a bare Synapse page.
The redirection now follows whichever of these clients you have enabled. When several are enabled, Element Web wins, followed by the others in the order that [`group_vars/matrix_servers`](group_vars/matrix_servers) lists them.
To send people somewhere else (or nowhere at all), define `matrix_playbook_public_client_root_redirection_url` in your `vars.yml` file. An empty value disables the redirection.
## Support for Meowlnir
The playbook can now install [Meowlnir](https://github.com/maunium/meowlnir), an opinionated Matrix moderation bot, optimized for Synapse.
