no redirect support

[Aaron Swartz]

There doesn't seem to be any way to redirect a page, like there is on other wikis.

We can expose web.redirect method and write a macro.

{{Redirect("/newpage")}}

I was thinking a type might be more appropriate. A macro seems weird
because that gets rendered when the page is drawn and in a redirect
you don't actually draw the page.

Even then the view template should do the job of redirecting at the
time of rendering.
I don't think adding a special case is a good idea.
