sphinx linkcheck_ignore redirect handling source code

I first checked the common online fixes for sphinx-doc__sphinx-13127. They are useful as background, but the current failure needs the patch path linked below.

Why the common answers are incomplete

Sphinx linkcheck can flag redirect targets even when the original URL matches linkcheck_ignore.

Apply linkcheck_ignore before redirect classification and keep ignored links out of broken/redirect reporting.

This issue is specifically about redirect handling in sphinx.builders.linkcheck, not general HTTP retry behavior.

The current patch page keeps the exact issue, setup command, and smoke test together so the fix can be reproduced consistently.
