[eduVPN-deploy] [SECURITY] Debian+sslh mod_status exposure

Hi all,

When the following two things are both true at the same time:

1. You run on Debian 9
2. You enabled "port sharing" for TCP/443 [1]

Then, unfortunately, the "/server-status" page is exposed to the whole
world! :'(

I've updated the documentation and deploy script to make sure this does
not happen in future deploys [2].

To fix it manually:

$ sudo a2dismod status
$ sudo systemctl restart apache2

**NOTE**: the two eduVPN participants listed in the official apps that
exposed the status page were made aware of this some hours ago.

Regards,
François
