Closes #8222 - Supersedes #8223

Summary
Follow active health-check redirects only while the destination remains within the original origin. Reject changes to the scheme, host or effective port before issuing another request because the configured health-check transport may contain credentials which cannot be safely removed from arbitrary transport modules.
This prevents both previous failure modes of redirected requests are no longer sent back to the original backend, and custom health headers or transport credentials are not forwarded to a cross-origin target. Relative and absolute same-origin redirects remain supported. Origin comparison handles case-insensitive hostnames, IPv6 addresses and explicit default HTTP and HTTPS ports.
Assistance Disclosure
Used Claude to review all commits since 2.11.4 for issues as there has been a couple regression-like things recently that I and others have let through. Found this. Code authored by me.
