libalpm: prevent 301 redirect loop from hanging the process
If a mirror responds with a 301 redirect to itself, it will create an
infinite redirect loop. This will cause pacman to hang, unresponsive to
even a SIGINT. The result is pacman being unable to sync or
download any package from a particular repo if its current mirror
is stuck in a redirect loop. Setting libcurl's MAXREDIRS option
effectively prevents a redirect loop from hanging the process.
