Motivation for this change

Our regex for splitting HTTP path into SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO was incorrect when webLocation was set to "/". Since Sympa 6.2.56 (updated in #89671) this has caused the web interface to return 421 Misdirected Request.

Since 6.2.56 Sympa can do the splitting on its own so we can simply remove it from nginx configuration.

Things done
  • Tested using sandboxing (nix.useSandbox on NixOS, or option sandbox in nix.conf on non-NixOS linux)
  • Built on platform(s)
    • NixOS
    • macOS
    • other Linux distributions
  • Tested via one or more NixOS test(s) if existing and applicable for the change (look inside nixos/tests)
  • Tested compilation of all pkgs that depend on this change using nix-shell -p nixpkgs-review --run "nixpkgs-review wip"
  • Tested execution of all binary files (usually in ./result/bin/)
  • Determined the impact on package closure size (by running nix path-info -S before and after)
  • Ensured that relevant documentation is up to date
  • Fits CONTRIBUTING.md.

Apparently this was already picked to 20.03, so I think merging this is fine.

That being said, cherry-picking for stable should happen when the commit has been merged into master.
