nginx inherits headers from higher-level blocks UNLESS we also set
headers in the current block. In this case the FastCGI cache header
was being set, so we weren't getting the extra-security ones.

nginx blocks inherit headers set in blocks above them UNLESS the
current level also sets headers[0]. This was causing PHP requests
to not have STS headers because of the FastCGI cache header which
is set in that block.

Fixes GitHub #7.

nginx is caching HEAD requests, then when users come along and do
a GET request they get an HTTP 200 with no request body. It seems
setting fastcgi_request_methods to GET doesn't stop nginx from caching
HEADs, so for now just add the $request_method to the key.

Bypasses caching for logged in users (right now only for sessions
where the "wordpress_logged_in" cookie is set. Doubles the trans-
actions per second as measured by siege:
$ siege -d1 -t1M -c50 https://mjanja.ch

Reduces round trip time for clients. Note: I am using a certificate
chain in the `ssl_certificate' directive, so as I understand it, I
don't need to use an explicit trusted intermediate + root CA cert
with the `ssl_trusted_certificate' option. See the nginx docs for
more[0]. Addresses GitHub Issue #5.
Seems to be working, test with:
$ openssl s_client -connect mjanja.ch:443 -servername mjanja.ch -tls1 -tlsextdebug -status
Look for "OCSP Response" with "Cert Status: good".

Default is 5 minutes, but it seems like unless you're a high-traff-
ic site, there's no need to expire sessions so quickly. Also, the
istlsfastyet.com configs are using 24 hours, so surely we can.

Use "public" with "max-age" instead of Expires, as "max-age" is always
preferred if it's present. Note: setting "public" doesn't make the
resource "more cacheable", but it is just more explicit.

My WordPress blogs have a /wordpress subdirectory in the document
root, but I don't serve from the /wordpress URI.
Technically, all we need is the tweaks to the try_files:
- `?args` passes query strings to php5-fpm
- removing 404 from the vhost's try_files so we don't return 404
when the requested file doesn't exist (obviously not all request
URI's in WordPress are actual files on the disk)

Assumes you have a TLS cert for one domain, but not the others, ie:
http://blah.com \
http://blah.net -> https://blah.iohttp://blah.org /
Otherwise, without https, it creates a vhost with all domain names.

Without this, all requests to directory URIs throw 403 errors due
to directory listings not being allowed.
