[CONFSERVER-33562] Confluence JIRA macros are broken and AppLinks changes cannot not fix them

In production environments configuration are changing, and it is really easy to end-up with cases like:

the server name has changed - that's the App Title of jira
URL of of the target JIRA can change, domain do change!
serverID of can change, for example when two instances are merged or split.
jira macro code can be missing the serverid (yes only servername) – observed it quite often.

If any 2 of the above are happening at the same time, you are ending up with lots of broken JIRA macros, ones that you cannot solve using KB article https://confluence.atlassian.com/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=590251843

In order to fix this for good JIRA needs few patches:

Auto repair URL redirected AppLinks - a 301 response on an AppLink should auto-reconfigure the app link. HTTP 301 is a permanent redirect, not a temporary one.
When encountering a jira link that is using an AppLink that is redirected, fixit. If possible this should be part of self-repair scheduled task.
When encountering a jira-macro without server-id, add the server id to it
When unable to repair AppLinks from JIRA Macro include the servername and serverid in the error message displayed on the UI.
Allow people to have aliases for servernames, that's the only way to fix previous point without having to do search and replace at database level.
