```
std.http.Client: eliminate arena allocator usage

Before, this code constructed an arena allocator and then used it when
handling redirects.

You know what's better than having threads fight over an allocator?
Avoiding dynamic memory allocation in the first place.

This commit reuses the http headers static buffer for handling
redirects. The new location is copied to the beginning of the static
header buffer and then the subsequent request uses a subslice of that
buffer.

```
