New Feature: Choose to follow redirects or not

[GoogleCodeExporter]

This patch adds an option to follow redirects or not. This will if you actually 
want to see the contents of your redirect responses (e.g., 301 or 303) without 
rest-client redirecting the URL for you.

This change updates two files:

- OptionsEtcPanel.java: So that you can turn this behaviour on or off. By 
default, redirects will be followed (like the current behavior).
- HTTPClientRequestExecuter: Controls whether or not the redirect should be 
followed.

I'm contributing the code under Apache Software License 2.0.

This involves updating the bean class too. Will try to incorporate it during 
weekend.
