#15775: Redirect Name Requests Correctly with Default Permalinks

--------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
 Suppose a post has the slug

 {{{
 an-exciting-post-title
 }}}

 but someone requests

 {{{
 /?name=an-exciting-post
 }}}

 Then `redirect_guess_404_permalink()` correctly guesses the permalink for
 that post, but the incorrect, partial `name` argument is retained:

 {{{
 /?p=123&name=an-exciting-post
 }}}

 and so the posts query fails.

 Instead, when `redirect_guess_404_permalink()` returns a permalink that
 doesn't have a `name` argument, the old, incorrect `name` argument should
 be removed from the final redirect URL.

 Note that in this patch I am using the fix appearing in the patch on
 #15774, because this patch uses some of the work done there.  Applying
 this patch will also fix #15774.
