Forum: one SEOSoft forum at forum.seosoft.dk, SQLInsight Pro as a category

The forum is shared by SEOSoft's products, so SQLInsight Pro becomes the
top-level category "sqlinsight" with the existing categories beneath it.

- render.py/install.sh: default hostname forum.seosoft.dk
- configure.py: forum-wide settings ("SEOSoft Forum") kept apart from the
  SQLInsight Pro category tree; subcategories found via /site.json; the
  welcome topic is pinned in the category, not on the shared front page
- Community site: ForumCategory option. The front page lists only that
  category's topics (c/<slug>/l/latest.json); forum links go to the
  category, topic links stay at the forum root
- Web: default ForumUrl https://forum.seosoft.dk/c/sqlinsight. The old
  forum.sqlinsight.seosoft.dk stays as a redirect for installed versions
