Title: Item redirects

This lets Content API own the URL space of content.

The `webUrl` field in the content api is considered to be the source of truth for the page you are on. If it differs then the user is redirected to that page.

For example `http://www.theguardian.com/type/article` will be redirected to `http://www.theguardian.com/articles`

Likewise for short urls `http://gu.com/p/3jdag` will be redirected to `http://www.theguardian.com/music/2013/oct/11/david-byrne-internet-content-world`

@kungpochicken this will cause some (but not all) of those redirects you have been looking for to happen.
