Description

Refactor DefaultRedirectStrategy for subclassing. (#164)

• Adds the constructor DefaultRedirectStrategy(String[]) to construct a new instance to redirect the given HTTP methods.
• The default constructor now calls the String[] constructor.
• Reimplement the LaxRedirectStrategy default constructor to call DefaultRedirectStrategy(String[]).

All of this allows for new custom subclasses of DefaultRedirectStrategy to provide their own array of HTTP methods to redirect.
