Core Rule Set: Nextcloud's ordinary requests pass by default (closes #240)
check / check (push) Failing after 2m15s

Adds nextcloud.conf, the twelfth change. Nextcloud's WebDAV paths allow
PROPFIND, PROPPATCH, MKCOL, COPY, MOVE, REPORT and SEARCH. The account-name
cookie nc_username, and the fields that carry a search, a name, a file name or
a folder on the sign-in page, the Files app, public shares and the OCS API,
skip the four rules that read them as commands or system files. Comments and
the text editor's document skip the two rules for a command after a ";" too;
932235 keeps "; wget" refused. Requests recorded from Nextcloud 35.0.2, its
web pages, sync client 3.16.7 with chunked uploads and the OCS API, pass at
the defaults and while bodies are read.

# The twelfth change: on Nextcloud's paths, some fields skip the rules that
# refused ordinary Nextcloud requests there. They are the fields where Nextcloud
# sends a search, a name, a file name, a folder, a comment or a document's text.
# Each exclusion runs with the request, before the rules it switches off, so
# this file is loaded before the Core Rule Set's rules. Each comment names a
# request a rule refused. An exclusion on a field of a JSON body applies only
# when the query has no parameter of that name, so it matters only while
# SWW_WAF_BODY_LIMIT is set. Nextcloud's pages are matched at the site root and
# under /index.php/, where a Nextcloud without pretty URLs serves them.
#
# Four rules read a search or a name as a command or a system file:
# 930120: .htaccess
# 932120: powershell
# 932250: ls -la
# 932260: python3
# Each exclusion below removes these four from its fields. Two more rules
# misfire on a comment or a document's text that runs a command after a ";",
# such as "Run python3 or powershell; ls -la shows .htaccess":
# 932125: ; ls
# 932230: ; ls -la
# Those fields skip them too. Rule 932235 stays, so that
# "; wget http://example.com/x.sh" is still refused there. It refuses
# "Run powershell; python3 next" too.
# The sync client and the Files app use these WebDAV methods besides those
# the first change allows, on /remote.php/dav/ and /public.php/dav/ and on the
# older /remote.php/webdav/ and /public.php/webdav/. 911100 refused each:
# PROPFIND, PROPPATCH: listing a folder, marking a file a favourite
# MKCOL: making a folder, and starting a chunked upload
# COPY, MOVE: copying, moving and renaming, and ending a chunked upload
# REPORT: listing favourites and comments
# SEARCH: the Files app's search
