Write test for new entity HTTP redirect on MusicBrainz

A recent change was made to MusicBrainz for redirecting browsers visiting a merged entity to the one they got merged into (this was a GCI task!). However, this new code doesn't have any tests written for it!

Since automated tests for code like this are immensely valuable to ensure the code keeps working over time, we would also love to get some tests written to make sure the new code behaves as expected and continues to do so with future code changes.

You can see the changed code on the relevant pull request: https://github.com/metabrainz/musicbrainz-server/pull/736

Once completed, submit a pull request with your changes to the GitHub repository, and respond to any suggestions and requests by the MusicBrainz developers until the pull request is approved (you do not need to wait until it gets merged).
