18.21 retry on the redirected-to URL

When curl is told to --retry a failed transfer and follows redirects, it
might get a HTTP 429 response from the redirected-to URL and not the original
one, which then could make curl decide to rather retry the transfer on that
URL only instead of the original operation to the original URL.

Perhaps extra emphasized if the original transfer is a large POST that
redirects to a separate GET, and that GET is what gets the 529
