Summary: Page moves should not suppress redirects by default

Initial Comment:
When moving pages with Page.move(), a redirect should be created by default. Users with the 'suppressredirect' right (e.g. bots on Wikimedia projects) should be able to suppress redirects. I propose adding a parameter leaveRedirect=True (or possibly suppresRedirect=False) to the function.
