Option to keep original path on domain redirect

Problem/Motivation

For domain redirects, it is sometimes useful to append the original request path to the destination domain. For example:

https://sample-a.com/some/path -> https://sample-b.com/some/path

While this can be done now, it requires entering every possible path as a separate domain redirect.

Proposed Solution

Add a checkbox option to the domain redirect form to append the original path to the target. That allows you to then configure a wildcard redirect from one domain to another with just a single configured domain redirect:

https://sample-a.com/* -> https://sample-b.com/*

Original Summary

Good day,

we want to use the redirect module for domain redirection in our projects.
Currently, the query string is not retained through the redirect.

I've created a patch of the redirect_domain sub module where I added a new field 'keep path' to the domain redirection.
It's a checkbox and if set, the query string is retained through the redirection. I've also extended the tests to check the new field.
Details can be found in the attached patch.

Is this approach compliant with the idea of the module?

This is my first contribution, feel free to point out mistakes in my workflow.
