A while ago the production website moved from
bestpractices.coreinfrastructure.org to www.bestpractices.dev. We automatically forward, but we really should be only giving the new URLs.

This commit updates the live references across docs, the OpenAPI server URL, the Python client sample, and the README. We use the www.bestpractices.dev host (not the bare domain) because bare DNS domains complicate our Fastly CDN setup.

The old "master" branch deployment no longer runs. The only pre-production running site is the staging branch deployment. Thus, load_self_json and the Fastly cache test now target staging.bestpractices.dev.

This also adds a normalize_string rewrite in lib/tasks/default.rake so rake translation:sync converts stale old-domain references arriving via translation.io, mirroring the existing GitHub-organization rewrite.

Deliberately preserve the old domain where it is historically accurate:

  • README's "previously was at" note about the former site.
  • The dated 2017-2018 TLS/header scan evidence in the assurance case, which was measured against the site as it existed then (under the old domain).
  • VCR cassettes (recorded HTTP responses with the old domain in frozen CSP headers).
  • config/machine_translations/pt-BR.yml (handled by the sync normalizer).
