#36760: DisallowedRedirect triggering exceptions for simple bad bot traffic

------------------------+---------------------------------------
The latest changes to DisallowedRedirect (CVE-2025-64458) are triggering
thousands and thousands of exception emails and spam the logs when simple
bad bot traffic is sending requests without a trailing slash and longer
than `django.utils.http.MAX_URL_LENGTH`.
Tangentionally the docstring for `DisallowedRedirect` is now out of
date/incorrect:
{{{
class DisallowedRedirect(SuspiciousOperation):
"""Redirect to scheme not in allowed list"""
}}}
I feel like this is a bit overreacting and perhaps could be toned down
somehow?
