[FR] Change existing redirect whose destination matches new redirect's legacy URL

[benface]

Okay, sorry about the confusing title, but here are some "repro steps" to explain what I mean:

1. Change the URI of an entry from entry-1 to cool-entry-1
2. Notice it adds a redirect in Retour, cool
3. Change the URI again from cool-entry-1 to awesome-entry-1
4. Notice it adds another redirect in Retour, so now we have:

• /entry-1 => /cool-entry-1
• /cool-entry-1 => /awesome-entry-1

It would be great if Retour was smarter about it, and also changed the existing redirect, so we'd have:

• /entry-1 => /awesome-entry-1
• /cool-entry-1 => /awesome-entry-1

...and there would only be one redirection when going to /entry-1. Does that make sense?

Thanks a lot for the great plugin <3

Well, the problem is that at least currently, the redirects have no "memory" of whether they were automatically created or not, and what entry they are associated with or not.

For this to be feasible, it'd need to record information that a redirect was automatically created by Retour, and it'd need to know what element it is associated with.

I see, that makes sense. Thank you for considering it :)
