ref #10898
- The redirects configuration's `to` & `from` URL parameters used to ignore it's query string parameters, which resulted in unexpected behavior
- Current changeset only partially fixes the issue. Now `to` URL's query parameters always take precedence over incoming query parameters and the rest of query parameters are passed through.

- Ghost has been using YAML format for other configurations (e.g. routes). The plan is to move to this format for all user-edited settings files. By default JSON format is still used in Ghost Admin API v2/v3, but will be changed to YAML in API v4. Check referenced issue for more context.
- New format supports all the features available before. The main noticeable change is the structure of config file. It is now grouped by redirect HTTP code instead of specifying `"permanent": true | false` attribute for each config property. Example format for YAML config:
```
302:
/from-url/: /to-url/
301:
/category/([a-z0-9\-]+)/i: /tag/$1/
/v([0-9\.]+)/docs/([a-z0-9\-]+)/i: /docs/$2/
```
- Added 2 new endpoints: `POST redirects/upload` and `GET redirects/download`. These serve as an alias to current GET/POST `/redirects/json. "upload/download" naming pattern is introduced to match the convention with other resources that can be uploaded and downloaded (images, themes etc.). `/redirects/json` endpoints will be removed in Admin API v4
- The parsing code from `custom-redirects.js` has been moved to `frontend/services/redirects/settings.js`. This location is more appropriate for this logic and eventually `custom-redirects.js` middlewear might be moved into "frontend" as this middlewear plays a role mostly effecting that area.
no-issue
This issue only occurs when using custom redirects with a subdirectory
setup, and the path to be redirected from is expressed as a regex, and
the url that is being redirected to is not an external url.
The issue has a few components:
- Redirect paths as a regex generally use the ^ to ensure that they
match the beginning of the path.
- The path that the regex is matched against conditionally excludes the
subdirectory, specifically, the subdirectory is excluded for external
urls
These combined means you end up with a regex like /^\/custom-redirect/
and a path like /subdir/custom-redirect, these will not match/replace
correctly, and you'll end in an infinite redirect loop.
The fix here is to *always* remove the subdirectory when testing regex's
and then conditionally adding it back *only* for the redirect, and only
if it is an internal redirect
refs #10898
- Execute string replacement on external paths
- Take non-top-level base URLs into consideration (to avoid #10776 dups)
- Added tests for all of the above cases
- move all test files from core/test to test/
- updated all imports and other references
- all code inside of core/ is then application code
- tests are correctly at the root level
- consistent with other repos/projects
