feat(base): add "redirect" config (POC)

---
POC: Tests will be added once this proposal is accepted
---

The "redirects" config allows configuring redirects from paths to routes.

Example config:

   "redirects" => { "^/path/regexp" => "an.apps.controller.route.locator" }

Use case:

* An administrator can configure another app as target for certain paths.

Differentiation from Apache redirects:

* this allows configuring redirects in one place and avoids spreading
  the configuration in multiple places.

* the target route locator is more expressive/easier to trace than a
  path
