Please see attached patch for pgweb that allows for the documentation to
be redirected from a page that is removed to a newer page. The way it works:

- Checks to see if a page is found. If it is, great!
- Now if a page 404s, we first check to see if there is a forwarding
address, i.e. the new page. If it is, we issue a 301 (permanent redirecTt).
- If it's still not found, we abort.

I believe this gives us the desired behavior.

Thoughts on the patch?

Thanks,

Jonathan
