Remove location URL as field on responses
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history 
It does not need to be stored on a response and therefore resulted in confusion.

Also clarify that synthetic responses need to have an absolute URL in the Location header field value (Response.redirect() does this automatically).

Corresponding HTML PR: TODO.

Tests: TODO.

Closes #631, closes #633, closes #958, and closes #1146. (Some of these can be closed due to #1030 making response's URL no longer null for network responses.)
