Backport of #14125
This patch better handles redirects in heartbeat. It takes a different tack than what was described in #13146 . This PR is on the whole more pragmatic, accomplishing substantive change with undue complication of the schema and beats codebase.
Changes in this patch:
The new default does make this a breaking change, however, we either need to break that setting and preserve the timing information for the common use case of someone checking a non-redirecting URL, or keeping it at 10 but losing the timing info. The third option would be to invest additional eng. effort here to track those numbers across reqs, but the benefit seems, minimal given that they are not displayed in the UI, only in dashboards.
