services: archive Matrix database and shutdown

We are temporarily disabling the Matrix homeserver at anonymousplanet
dot net due to the inability to keep up with infrastructure costs. This
is the last attempt we will make until we know the services will be more
reliable and we apologize for the inconvenience and instability. This is
a joint decision caused by late payments to our hosting provider and we
decided it best to simply leave things down and focus on other matters.
We never really wanted to make a big deal about servers and services on
them, it was mostly about community and chatting with like-minded
individuals. We'll be around on Matrix still, just reach out to us if
you have questions or comments.

-
-Additionally, I highly recommend that you implement a mechanism to keep your key
-material up-to-date so that you obtain the latest revocations, and other updates
-in a timely manner. You can do regular key updates by using parcimonie[1] to
-refresh your keyring. Parcimonie is a daemon that slowly refreshes your keyring
-from a keyserver over Tor. It uses a randomized sleep, and fresh tor circuits
-for each key. The purpose is to make it hard for an attacker to correlate the
-key updates with your keyring.
