issue1842687: Keywords: After creating, stay in "Create New" mode.
Added support for __redirect_to form variable to the new action. If
set the value should be a url. If __redirect_to is present, the user is
directed to the url after the new action has completed successfully.
E.G. when creating new keywords you often want to stay on the create
new keyword page rather than change to the "Edit keyword" page. Setting
__redirect_to to the new keyword creation url lets you keep adding new
keywords.
This mechanism works for any @action=new. So you could keep the user
on an "add new issue" page so they can keep adding issues one after the
other.
Also change the classic tracker keyword.item.html page to have a
checkbox (checked by default) to stay on the "new keyword" page rather
than displaying the newly created keyword item.
