Improve Redirect Configuration meta box field arrangement

[raamdev]

The Redirect Configuration meta box currently has the (optional) Redirection Status field at the top. That doesn't make since from a UX-perspective. Since that field is optional, it will most likely rarely get used. The second field (Redirection URL) should be the first field, and the Redirection Status field should be the last field.

---

In fact, perhaps each of those fields (Redirection URL, Additional Redirections From, and Redirection Status) should be their own Meta Boxes. That way, a site owner can show/hide the ones they use the most. Separating them into separate Meta Boxes would, in my opinion be fine, since the entire page itself is dedicated to the Redirect Configuration. Also, that existing Redirect Configuration meta box feels very crowded.

@jaswsinc Thoughts?

I agree on all points!

Another thing that bugs me about the current layout, is that the tab order seems really out of whack (for whatever reason). I type the title of the Redirect into the field provided, and then I tab down into something other than what I expect. Not sure if we can do anything about this, but if so that would help too I think. It should be quicker and easier to create a redirection.

The Redirect configuration options have been separated into separate Meta Boxes. I also added lots of inline documentation to help novice site owners.

I looked into this and unfortunately there's no easy fix. See https://www.google.com/search?q=wordpress+metabox+tabindex

I'm sure it's fine. I am going to pull this branch and run tests in just a moment. I will report back shortly.

Tested... Yep, looks like pure awesomeness to me! :-) :thumbsup:

Great! Thanks @jaswsinc :)
