[TYPO3-v4] Redirect (shortcut page) drops parameters

[Ernesto Baschny [cron IT]]

Hi Xavier,

AFAIK the "type" parameter is always passed on via typoLink even if not
listed in the linkVars. The documentation of config.linkVars [1] even
recommends *against* listing it there, as you suggested:

  Note: Do not include the "type" parameter in the linkVars list, as
this can result in unexpected behavior.

So the (breaking change) bug in my opinion is that the type (if set) is
not being passed on when redirecting to the destination page as it
should (a regular typoLink usually keeps the current type except if
explicitly told via ".type" parameter).

Cheers,
Ernesto
