Allow pages to have multiple URLs #492

This is an idea/open question that I’d like to resolve relatively quickly.

We’ve avoided figuring out how to best model pages that move or have multiple locations over time (and probably at the same time, too). While doing some routine updates today, I discovered that the domain http://www.cpc.noaa.gov/ was just shut down earlier this month. It looks like all those pages have been redirecting to identical paths at https://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/ for quite a while (months, maybe longer?) and they’ve finally stopped responding to the older domain.

In the long term, we need to actually model this correctly. In the short term, we need to keep monitoring these pages, so my quick-and-dirty suggestion is to add a notes text field to the Page record in DB, update the url field for those pages, and add some human-readable text to the notes field describing the situation for for those pages.

Thoughts?
