[PROJ] proj4.org -> proj.org migration

All,

It's good to have friends in high places. Paul Ramsey was able to encourage the owner of proj.org <http://proj.org/> to donate the domain to our cause. The domain has been transferred to the OSGeo registrar and is currently in finalization at this time. Once that is complete (in the next few days), we can begin our transition from proj4.org <http://proj4.org/> to proj.org <http://proj.org/> if the PSC is supportive of such a migration. I know I am!

I propose that we keep another GH page up at https://proj4.org <https://proj4.org/> that 301s -> https://proj.org <https://proj.org/> for quite a while, and we adapt the CNAME of our current proj-docs repo to proj.org <http://proj.org/>.  Hopefully the transition does not need to be any rougher than that. If we need an RFC and vote to do this, someone chime in and we can do so, but I think the sentiment is we've wanted proj.org <http://proj.org/> all along and we are very glad to get it.

Thanks again to Paul Ramsey and the contributor of the domain (Paul can name him if that is ok). We really appreciate it!

Howard
