When a redirect response arrives, the browser will recognize
Set-Cookie headers the same as any other request/response. This PR
enables the Redirector to correctly follow the cookie hand-offs.

I encountered this situation out in the wild. This PR, as-is, seems to
fix the issue. I haven't bothered to find the relevant spec.

Ah, there's still a problem with this — the cookies set by redirects still aren't set in the final response object. Gonna need a bit more work

A bit of sleuthing shows this behavior is implemented by all major browsers, so it seems like we should support it: https://blog.dubbelboer.com/2012/11/25/302-cookie.html

Looks like some unrelated rubocop failures. I thought we had rubocop pinned to prevent that...

My previous commit only carried cookies between redirect requests
and not to the final response. This corrects that. All tests are now
at the higher level, and the code change is smaller, overall.
I had previously thought it happened automatically, but I guess not.

@tarcieri This is ready now, as far as I'm concerned. Let me know if anything needs fixing

@tkellogg some rubocop failures

I think these are fixed by the rubocop update?

I have some plans of removing redirector as is, and introducing session object instead. Session will be a http client wrapper that will hold cookies. This PR has these lines:

      # I wish we could just do @response.cookes = cookie_jar
      cookie_jar.each do |cookie|
        @response.cookies.add(cookie)
      end

I believe this is wrong and comes from the idea of using redirector as a session. The response should not hold cookie jar of previous requests.

A Session type to encapsulate this state would be great. See also #306.
