Item8679: Allow RedirectPlugin to handle AUTOINC

RedirectPlugin checks that the destination topic exists. This is useful unless you want to redirect to, say, an edit URL pointing to AUTOINC where you know for sure that the topic WON'T EXIST.

Don't check that the target topic exists

If you pass the dontcheck=1 parameter then Foswiki will let you redirect to a topic that doesn't exist. This is very useful as a way to wrap up data form creators for applications.

e.g. RoleCreator:

%REDIRECT{newtopic="%SCRIPTURLPATH{"edit"}%/%BASEWEB%/UnnamedRoleAUTOINC1?topicparent=RoleList;templatetopic=RoleTemplate;t=%SERVERTIME{"$day$hour$min$sec"}%" dontCheck="1"}%

Now, for instance in WebLeftBar you can just use:

   * [[RoleCreator][Create Role]]
