This allows system-level configuration to be done by `apt-get install`
of nginx modules, which place their load statements in this directory.
The initial import in ed0cb0a5f8 of the stock nginx config omitted
this include -- one potential explanation was in an effort to reduce
the memory footprint of the server.
The default nginx install enables:
50-mod-http-auth-pam.conf
50-mod-http-dav-ext.conf
50-mod-http-echo.conf
50-mod-http-geoip2.conf
50-mod-http-geoip.conf
50-mod-http-image-filter.conf
50-mod-http-subs-filter.conf
50-mod-http-upstream-fair.conf
50-mod-http-xslt-filter.conf
50-mod-mail.conf
50-mod-stream.conf
While Zulip doesn't actively use any of these, they likely don't do
any harm to simply be loaded -- they are loaded into every nginx by
default.
Having the `modules-enabled` include allows easier extension of the
server, as neither of the existing wildcard
includes (`/etc/nginx/conf.d/*.conf` and
`/etc/nginx/zulip-include/app.d/*.conf`) are in the top context, and
thus able to load modules.
