Fix RedirectMatch regex in ACME exemption recipe (bug 70084)

The negative lookahead (?!...) is zero-width and non-capturing, so
the original pattern matched only the leading slash and \$1 was
undefined. Add a capturing group (.*)$ after the lookahead so that
\$1 contains the remainder of the URL-path.

Same as trunk r1934878.
