GHSA-cw9j-q3vf-hrrv: Scrapy authorization header leakage on cross-domain redirect

### Impact When you send a request with the `Authorization` header to one domain, and the response asks to redirect to a different domain, Scrapy’s built-in redirect middleware creates a follow-up redirect request that keeps the original `Authorization` header, leaking its content to that second domain. The [right behavior](https://fetch.spec.whatwg.org/#ref-for-cors-non-wildcard-request-header-name) would be to drop the `Authorization` header instead, in this scenario. ### Patches Upgrade to Scrapy 2.11.1.
