Proxito: deprecate serving `README.html` by default

We are currently serving /README.html and <path>/README.html in

https://github.com/readthedocs/readthedocs.org/blob/e85ee7dbadfec7735d89427ed7083b38ea22284e/readthedocs/proxito/views/serve.py#L301-L327

This is not a standard behavior and we have it there because of pretty old compatibility reasons. I'd like to deprecate this and remove this "feature" if possible. As a first step, I added the tryfile= argument in the log line in #9983 to start tracking this and check how many projects are using this non-standard hosting feature. We can then check this via New Relic, analyze and decide what to do.
