Feature #783
Simplify Response object, and provide Redirect
Description
The Response object currently accepts arguments to set headers and cookies.
Cookies are more verbosely (and less error-prone) set on the request object, which the cookies set in the Response will be forwarded to regardless. Additionally, the headers argument is in practice only used for redirects, which are a bit of a burden to generate now.
The cookies argument should be dropped in favor of clients using the one true method of using the request object on the PageMaker instance.
Additionally, a new Redirect class should be introduced so that redirects can be easily created. This should accept location and httpcode arguments, the second of which defaults to 307 (temporary redirect). The Redirect class should subclass from response, and have a functional fallback for clients that fail to understand HTTP 307 (unlikely, but they may exist) in the form of a minimal html page.
