Slavi Pantaleev 3e57a1463a Serve nginx status page over HTTPS as well
Continuation of #234 (Github Pull Request).

I had unintentionally updated the documentation for the feature,
saying the page is available at `https://matrix.DOMAIN/nginx_status`.

Looks like it wasn't the case, going against my expectations.

I'm correcting this with this patch.
The status page is being made available on both HTTP and HTTPS.
Serving over HTTP is likely necessary for services like

# Configure Ngnix (optional, advanced)
By default, this playbook installs its own nginx webserver (in a Docker container) which listens on ports 80 and 443.
If that's alright, you can skip this.
## Using Ngnix status
This will serve a statuspage to the hosting machine only. Useful for monitoring software like [longview](https://www.linode.com/docs/platform/longview/longview-app-for-nginx/)
```yaml
matrix_nginx_proxy_proxy_matrix_nginx_status_enabled: true
```
This will serve the status page under the following addresses:
- `http://matrix.DOMAIN/nginx_status` (using HTTP)
- `https://matrix.DOMAIN/nginx_status` (using HTTPS)
By default, if ```matrix_nginx_proxy_nginx_status_enabled``` is enabled, access to the status page would be allowed from the local IP address of the server. If you wish to allow access from other IP addresses, you can provide them as a list:
```yaml
matrix_nginx_proxy_proxy_matrix_nginx_status_allowed_addresses:
- 8.8.8.8
- 1.1.1.1
```
