The specification *used* to have a limit of 5 total redirections. I think
that needs to be added back into the specificaiton.

Perhaps <=5 should be specified. For now, there is at least arecommendation for it in the best practices document:gemini://gemini.circumlunar.space/docs/best-practices.gmi

I'm not entirely convinced that automatic redirects are good. Manualredirects that present the users with a link to the redirection targetcould be unlimited and still make it more obvious to users when they'rethrown about.
