Add a server-side event when a redirect is found

[abea]

The problem to solve

There's no good way to take additional actions, such as tracking redirect use, before a redirect executes

Proposed solution

We emit a Promise event after a matching redirect is found and include both the original URL and its destination.

Alternatives

We could break up the middleware into methods more so they could be edited with the super pattern.

Additional context

That would work. Emitting an object would allow modification of the destination property by the event handlers.
