uri: Add redirect tests for none, safe, urllib2 and all (#37068)

This is required if we want to ensure that #36809 doesn't cause any
important behavioral changes.

This PR changes the uri module to support follow_redirects=urllib2

It also adds a better error message when the connection closes before
any data was returned.
