oh-bugimporters: Refuse to follow cross-domain redirects (within Bugzilla importer)

[ghost]

Comment by paulproteus:

When reading the bug importer logs, I noticed a bit of exciting insanity:

2013-05-17 01:24:58+0000 [Spider for importing using oh-bugimporters] DEBUG: Redirecting
(302) to <GET https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=show_bug.cgi> from <GET
https://bugzil.la/show_bug.cgi?...]

Nothing good can come of this redirect (-:

In particular, it indicates that the bug tracker is misconfigured:

• The base_url should be bugzilla.mozilla.org, not bugzil.la in this case.

But moreover, we never should accept cross-domain redirects, but doing such a redirect indicates
that the bug tracker is misconfigured.

Investigating scrapy option settings for expanding shortened url bugzil.la to formal url
bugzilla.mozilla.org before starting the web crawl
