make client-side redirects easier by introducing RedirectException
------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: WICKET-4355
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WICKET-4355
             Project: Wicket
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: wicket
    Affects Versions: 1.4.19
            Reporter: Peter Ertl
            Assignee: Peter Ertl
            Priority: Minor
             Fix For: 1.4.20


In wicket 1.5 and 6.0 we have RestartResponseException with a redirect policy 
to enforce a client side redirect. In 1.4 we need the following code fragment:

  getRequestCycle().setRedirect(true)
  throw new RestartResponseException(page)

Since client-side redirects to pages are very common I find it discouraging 
that wicket users have to get into some of the guts of request cycle just to 
understand the above fragment. Also client-side redirects will not work with 
page instances like here

  getRequestCycle().setRedirect(true)
  throw new RestartResponseException(new MyPage())

By introducing RedirectException this very(!) common use case will be a lot 
easier and more terse and though we want people to migrate to 1.5 or, even 
better, 6.0 it will not hurt to give some love to 1.4.
