    Description

      nginx.sample.conf: www redirection, security regex

      according to the latest wiki info:
      http://wiki.nginx.org/Pitfalls#Taxing_Rewrites
      `return 301` is preferred over a rewrite.

      also, the 'security' regex breaks some official extensions because it
      will match and deny access to `/ext/phpbb`.
      looking through the names of dirs and files containing `phpbb`, it
      looks like the intent of the regex was to only disallow the folder
      `phpbb` in the root dir and not other `/phpbb` matches.
      a negative lookbehind was added to specifically not match `/ext/phpbb`
      but still match other occurrences of `/phpbb`.

      i've attached the config with the proposed changes.
