Make GM xhr more parallel again

Workaround for Tampermonkey 5.3.2 parallel GM_xmlhttpRequest issue

This script should not be not be installed directly. It is a library for other scripts to include with the meta directive // @require https://update.greasyfork.org/scripts/516445/1480246/Make%20GM%20xhr%20more%20parallel%20again.js 

/*
 * https://github.com/Tampermonkey/tampermonkey/issues/2215
 *
 * This script provides a workaround for a Chrome MV3 issue (https://github.com/w3c/webextensions/issues/694)
 * where extensions can't set/delete headers that are preserved over redirects.
 *
 * By setting `redirect: 'manual'` and following redirects manually, this script ensures request redirects work
 * as intended and requests to different URLs are made in parallel (again).
 *
 * Userscript authors should include this as a `@require` when they need to make parallel requests with GM_xmlhttpRequest,
 * especially if requests might take a long time to complete.
 *
 * Including this script will modify the behavior of GM_xmlhttpRequest and GM.xmlHttpRequest in Tampermonkey only.
 *
 * Usage:
 *
 * Add this to the metadata block of your userscript:
 *
 * // @grant     GM_xmlhttpRequest
 * // @require   https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Tampermonkey/utils/refs/heads/main/requires/gh_2215_make_GM_xhr_more_parallel_again.js
 *
