Improve documentation: Configure redirects for deployment also (Netlify, etc)

For Netlify, the link/example can be:

Create file _redirects under .vuepress/public and recreate your redirects. For instance:

Are you willing to work on this yourself?

For Netlify, yes. For the others no, since I don't know how to configure them
