#34965: IDN site and wp_validate_redirect()

If site runs on IDN domain
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internationalized_domain_name) it's
localized name translated into 'punycode' before entering it into the DNS
server and later into webserver.
Example:
IDN site name: сайт.com (site.com in Russian)
Punycode: xn--80aswg.com
Local links on site are in IDN form. However wp_validate_redirect() gets
host in punycode form and failed to validate. As result user redirected to
/wp-admin page.
This error happens when WP URL set in IDN format. If it set in punycode
format WP works great, but it is not obvious for user, he simply can have
no idea what is punycode at all.
