HttpResponseRedirect should not be escaping the '*' character

Description

Hello,

It appears the HttpResponseRedirect class is encoding the '*' character within a URL.

I believe this is a violation of RFC 3986.

Solution: The '*' character should be added to the safe-list so that it is not encoded.

Thanks for your time!

Yep, according to that RFC, the * should be kept:

reserved    = gen-delims / sub-delims

gen-delims  = ":" / "/" / "?" / "#" / "[" / "]" / "@"

sub-delims  = "!" / "$" / "&" / "'" / "(" / ")" / "*" / "+" / "," / ";" / "="

(In [7064]) Fixed #6301 -- Added '*' to the characters not converted by iri_to_uri(), as
pointed out by samidh.
