Redirection monitor not active during wp-cron

Feature request: Make redirection monitor active during a wp-cron

Summary

Short: We are planning post revisions in the future. These post revisions can also include slug changes. These slug changes are not monitored en therefore no redirections are created.

Long: We are using Yoast duplicate post to plan revisions in the future. So we can release schedule post updates. Changing slug is not a default feature in Yoast duplicate post but we filtered this functionality in. When testing this new feature we noticed that Redirection was not picking up the new slug and not creating any redirects in this case. I found that the redirect monitor class was initialized via: add_action( 'rest_api_init', 'red_start_rest' ); The rest_api_init hook is not triggered during a regular wp-cron. I created a prototype where I call the 'red_start_rest' function during my cron action. This is working but is not the way to go, I think the way to go is to make this work from the plugin code. Also my way is triggering warnings.

Actual Behavior

Please make the redirection monitor class active during a wp-cron, it 's not right now.

Environment

WP 5.8.1 / 5.8.2 Redirection 5.1.3 Latest chrome
