#33132: TestClient doesn't follow redirects that only contain a query string
correctly.

---------------------------------------------+------------------------
While running a projects test suite on Django 4.0a1 (using Python 3.8)
some tests unexpectedly started failing.
We have a `FormView` that defines the `get_success_url` method as follows:
{{{
def get_success_url(self):
"""
Redirect to self
"""
success = urllib.parse.urlencode({'success': self.n_deleted})
return f'?{success}'
}}}
In actual browsers this results in a redirect to the original request's
path with the querystring attached. The Django TestClient behaved the same
way, but after the update to Django 4.0a1 it suddenly redirects to
`/?success=1`.
This seems to be caused by the fix for #32790
