allowing spack monitor to handle redirect (#26666)

when deployed on kubernetes, the server sends back permanent redirect responses.
This is elegantly handled by the requests library, but not urllib that we have
to use here, so I have to manually handle it by parsing the exception to
get the Location header, and then retrying the request there.
