Revise list of blocked file extensions in .htaccess

Some rules in the .htaccess seem outdated.

FilesMatch pattern to protect files and directories form direct access needs to be updated. For instance tpl(\.php)? makes no sense in Drupal 8+.

Configuration for PHP 5 is no longer needed as Drupal does not support PHP 5 since version 8.7.

Overall the current configuration seems too complex and likely can be optimized. The number of rules in the .htaccess may affect server performance a great deal. That's because the file is parsed on each http request including requests for static files.

We may consider moving rules that specific to some directory into a separate .htaccess file located under that directory. For instance there is a large set of rules for serving gzip compressed CSS and JS files.
