 If a logged-in user attempts to visit /wp-admin on some Make sites that
 they don’t have access to, they get stuck in a redirect loop.

 e..g, requesting http://make.wordpress.org/training/wp-admin redirects to
 https://make.wordpress.org/training/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=handbook
 and then fails.

 It doesn’t affect all of the sites, though. I’m seeing it on `/training`,
 `/docs`, `/core`, and `/meta`, but not on `/community`. I didn’t test
 beyond that, though.

 Dion [https://make.wordpress.org/systems/2014/11/07/redirect-loop-on-make-
 when-visiting-wp-admin-over-http-without-a-user-role/ pointed out] that
 `WPorg_Handbook->admin_page_access_denied()` is redirecting all denied
 requests to the handbook post type, which is also denied, causing the
 loop.
