Description
At the moment django.contrib.redirects redirects only with status 301(Moved Permanently).
It doesn't allow to use django.contrib.redirects if user needs temporary redirect (one of 302/303/307).
This can be solved easily with with adding optional parameter REDIRECT_STATUS_CODE=301/302/303/307.
It will make redirects middleware more flexible and convenient.

I attached a patch with the general idea.
It'd be nice to make the implementation, tests (and docs if we decide to document this API) consistent between the redirects and locale middleware (#19277).

I've applied the patch and added tests in this pull request.
I didn't add docs because of the comments in #19277. Is this still the case here?

I think we might as well document these attributes and also include a mention in the release notes.

The trend is more to add a redirect_class (
HttpResponseRedirectBasesubclass) attribute instead of setting the status code directly (see #19277). But yes, this seems to be a reasonable feature to add.
