Message:

Canonical URLs: Redirect to the correct URL when the post date changes.

When a post slug is changed, we store a copy of the old slug, so that we can redirect visitors visiting the old URL to the new URL.

In the same way, this stores a copy of the old date, when the post date changes, so we can redirect visitors to the new URL.

Merge of [42401,42587,42588] to the 4.9 branch.

Props nickmomrik, frank-klein.
Fixes #15397.
