[tor-mirrors] No donations from mirrors

[Alain Wolf]

Converting the .htaccess file with http://winginx.com/en/htaccess and
including that on my mirrors Nginx configuration seems to solve the problem.

Did not very extensive testing and checking. But Nginx didn't complain
and all the donation links seem to work. Don't know about all the other
stuff in there.

So maybe a converted Nginx config file could be included in the rsync
along the original (aka .nginx-rewrites.conf) and the mirroring
instructions at https://www.torproject.org/docs/running-a-mirror.html.en
updated with a Nginx configuration which includes that file.
