Disable redirect behavior when updating a term

[danielbachhuber]

As a user who has meta boxes on my "Edit <taxonomy>" view, I'd prefer to be kept on the view after hitting the "Update" button. This behavior would be consistent with what I experience when editing a post or options.

WordPress' current behavior is to take me to the list view for all terms in the taxonomy. This is annoying when I have dozens of terms, as it takes multiple steps for me to get back to the edit view.

This code is the culprit: https://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/src/wp-admin/edit-tags.php#L151

Here's my hacky workaround: ​https://gist.github.com/danielbachhuber/dac825eb195febcb0e19

At the very least, it would be nice to be able to change the target of the redirect.

This might be as simple as enable cancellation of the redirect, which is possible through changing the call to wp_redirect() to only exit on successful redirect. For reference, we've already made this possible in at least two other places, see [28729] and [25453] using this method.
