The main motivation for this PR was to let https://gitforwindows.org/snapshots redirect to the correct URL.

While working on that, I realized that there are more stale URLs in this repository that still point to Azure Blobs. So this PR fixes those, too.

I have moved the snapshots from Azure Blobs a long time ago. While there _is_ a redirect in place, it's better to link to the correct place to begin with. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <[email protected]>
The snapshots are hosted in the GitHub Pages of the https://github.com/git-for-windows/git-snapshots/ repository. That repository name is reasonably distinctive for a repository, but it is reflected in the URL https://gitforwindows.org/git-snapshots/, making it a tad tedious to write out the first time. Let's redirect the URLs `/snaps` and `/snapshots` for convenience. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <[email protected]>

Git for Windows switched to the new Pacman repository (which is no longer backed by Azure Blobs, but instead by a GitHub repository) a long time ago. It's high time that this page followed suite. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <[email protected]>
