See https://caddy.community/t/v2-match-any-path-but-files/7326/8?u=matt
If rewrites (or redirects, for that matter) match on file existence,
the file matcher would need to know the root of the site.
Making this change implies that root directives that depend on rewritten
URIs will not work as expected. However, I think this is very uncommon,
and am not sure I have ever seen that. Usually, dynamic roots are based
on host, not paths or query strings.
I suspect that rewrites based on file existence will be more common than
roots based on rewritten URIs, so I am moving root to be the first in
the list.
Users can always override this ordering with the 'order' global option.
