#5458: Redirects should not trigger 429 responses

 Requests to https://wordpress.org/tags/privacy/page/15 are redirected to
 https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/privacy/page/15/.

 However, in the process, there are several interstitial redirects (the
 change in path, and, appending the trailing slash).

 This frequently triggers a 429 error for Google (and presumably other
 systems).

 To address this:
 - Rate limiting on 301 redirects should be removed (or radically relaxed).
 - Redirect rules should be consolidated (e.g., alter the path and append
 the trailing slash in a single process)
