Please change hardcoded matrix.to to homeserver

[veikolippand]

Describe the bug

Can we please replace hardcoded matrix.to server with the correct user homeserver. I consider this as a bug, because for example if i tag user in chat the url will point to wrong server (url is https://matrix.to/#/blah) instead of my current homeserver.

Simple grep shows that there are several places in code where matrix.to is used. Maybe some of them are ok, i don't know purpose for all these but i am sure that some of them should be homeserver instead.

src/UsersModel.cpp:69:                return QStringLiteral("[%1](https://matrix.to/#/%2)")
src/Config.h:82:  matrixToLink(QStringLiteral(R"(<a href=\"(https://matrix.to/#/.*?)\">(.*?)</a>)"));
src/Utils.cpp:968:                   "href=\"https://matrix.to/#/%1/%2\">In reply "
src/Utils.cpp:969:                   "to</a> <a href=\"https://matrix.to/#/%3\">%4</a><br"
src/timeline/TimelineModel.cpp:1968:    return QStringLiteral("https://matrix.to/#/%1").arg(QString(QUrl::toPercentEncoding(room)));
src/timeline/InputBar.cpp:387:        int endOfName = input.indexOf("](https://matrix.to/#/");
src/ChatPage.cpp:1490:    // Convert matrix.to URIs to proper format
src/ChatPage.cpp:1491:    if (uri_.scheme() == QLatin1String("https") && uri_.host() == QLatin1String("matrix.to")) {
src/RoomsModel.cpp:48:                return QStringLiteral("[%1](https://matrix.to/#/%2)")

matrix.to is not a homeserver, it's a redirection page, which includes the homeserver of the target (user, room, etc) in the path parameter. For example, tagging my alt account results in https://matrix.to/#/%40temporarynep%3Amatrix.org, and tagging my main account results in https://matrix.to/#/%40nep_nep%3Amatrix.bottomservices.club.

I would also love to see proper matrix: links instead of the matrix.to that I oppose as a principle.

Ok, in that sense can we please change it to home server as so that some unknown external redirection services are not used in for example closed networks. Even tho matrix.to might not be unknown for many it is generally unknown entity from the private network perspective.
