Clarify behavior with redirect chains #4

@dickhardt

Description

@dickhardt

The spec should clarify behavior when multiple redirects occur in sequence.

The browser only sends Redirect-Origin/Redirect-Query when it receives a redirect response containing Redirect-* headers. Each hop is independent — Redirect-Origin reflects the immediate previous origin, not the original origin.

This is straightforward for OAuth (single-hop redirects), but the spec should explicitly address the general case for HTTPBIS reviewers.

Raised during IETF 125 presentation preparation.
