Patrick Meinecke e209aea1d0 Merged PR 41050: [release/v7.6.5] Strip authorization on redirect if -PreserveAuthorizationOnRedirect is not specified
<!-- Anything that looks like this is a comment and can't be seen after the Pull Request is created. -->

# PR Summary

Web commands currently preserve `Authorization` headers when either the `FollowRelLinks` parameter or the `PreserveHttpMethodOnRedirect` parameter is specified. This should only occur when `PreserveAuthorizationOnRedirect` is specified. This change fixes that.
