What

Replace archived pages with redirects. This might be achievable through a Netlify configuration file.

Why

Our archived pages require a user to click a link to visit another page, but implementing proper HTTP redirects will allow non-human users, e.g. search engines, to propagate the correct content.

Done when

It might be worth talking about this before continuing, as there could be instances when we choose to archive a page rather than redirect. More details on #3416. We should discuss those possible scenarios.
