Maintain backward compatibility with url's from old webui

[maany]

Description

The new webui will recieve requests from panda or clients of old webui that use the older routes.

Therefore, to be a hot swap of the old UI, it is important to maintain a map that is used to redirect the user from old URL to the correct new URL.

Change

This would require exporting a redirect configuration in Next.js

https://nextjs.org/docs/api-reference/next.config.js/redirects

Redirect targets

• Page DID
• List DID
• Page RSE
• List RSE
• Page Subscription
• List Subscription
• Page Rule
• Create Rule
• List Rule

Quick analysis of the old webui routes searching to map the routes to the url_param they use can be done using the following snippet:

for file in *.html; do
    echo -e "\n===================="
    echo Route ${file%.html}
    echo "===================="
    jspath=../../static/${file%.html}.js
    regex="(?<=url_param\(')[a-z_]+(?='\))"
    grep -oP $regex $jspath | sort -u
done

It seems that there is no native nextjs method to prevent the query string parameters from the old url to be added to the new (redirected) url. this should not be a problem though, since excess query string parameters are simply ignored.
