Follow multiple redirects (maybe with a configurable max)

[wouterlemcke]

It would be great if we could make the library follow multiple redirects.
The issue we're encountering is that we try to generate a preview for a link that has 2 redirects on it
First from HTTP to HTTPS and then a 'normal' redirect to another path.

Unfortunately we don't control the source of this link, so we cannot change it.

Maybe is possible if you set followRedirects: 'manual' and then in handleRedirects you count the number of redirects,
When your desired maximum redirects is reached, it should return a reject,

I haven't tested this yet, but it makes sense.
I didn't had a way to test.

@george-i It seems like the library only allows 1 redirect to happen.

Back from a long vacation, looks like some of you are using the library in a paid product, would gladly implement this for you guys for a small fee/sponsorship.
