feat: redirect kind

[lazarv]

Adds a kind parameter to the redirect() function, giving developers control over how redirects behave on the client side.

Motivation

Resolves #289. The default redirect behavior (RSC navigation with replaceState) isn't always what's needed. For example, OAuth flows require a full browser navigation, some redirects should preserve history for back-button support, and server actions sometimes need to signal a redirect to the client without automatically navigating.

API

redirect(url: string, status?: number, kind?: RedirectKind): never

RedirectKind is a union of four values:

Kind	Behavior
"navigate"	(default) RSC navigation with replaceState — same as current behavior
"push"	RSC navigation with pushState — adds a history entry so the user can go back
"location"	Full browser navigation via location.href — useful for external URLs or OAuth flows
"error"	Throws the redirect error on the client — allows custom handling via try/catch in server actions
