#26666: assertRedirects gives unhelpful error message expected URL is external

-----------------------------------+--------------------
`assertRedirects` uses the test client and so cannot fetch external URLs.
When the expected URL is set to an external URL, `assertRedirects` fails
with something like:
{{{
AssertionError: 404 != 200 : Couldn't retrieve redirection page '/some-
path/': response code was 404 (expected 200)
}}}
It would be better if `assertRedirects` could detect that it was being
used incorrectly, and gave a more helpful error message.
