Add clean-URL routes for editorial nav pages; redirect /about to /history

The nav links /care /history /sourcing /trade /vocabulary pointed at
extension-less paths that 404'd (express.static only serves *.html). Added
explicit routes mapping each to its public/<name>.html file. /about had no
target page anywhere, so it 301-redirects to /history (the brand-story page).
