Propose adding live addition of redirects

As is, the plugin allows "live" deletions of redirects without a page reload, but not additions. The UI of the plugin would be considerably improved by using admin AJAX to create the redirects instead of parsing upon page reload and would allow users to add redirects much more quickly. I've had to add upwards of 50 redirects for a new site using this plugin before and running a submission for every single one gets rather tedious.

You could also tie in validation more quickly and at a granular level with the requests - for instance immediately identify when the data put into the Destination field doesn't match a URL.

I'm willing write a PR for this if it's a feature you're willing to consider.

Not checking results on success message

Hi there, I noticed that you show a "Settings saved" message on the 301 redirects page if a POST load is pushed and the page displays. However, there is no error message if you have an errant field (such as a missing/faulty request or destination or no data is being pushed at all.

I propose running checks on the data and highlighting any potential issues with what was submitted.

i.e.: (error) "No redirects were saved" or "It looks like you're missing some information on your redirect".
