Redirects & canonical URLs with .htaccess on HostStack

Common redirect patterns for Apache stacks behind HostStack shared/cloud hosting.

Avoid duplicate redirect chains (http→https→www) — flatten hops Google Search Console flags.

Test directives inside staging folders before pushing malformed syntax into production.
