   * query string in the request URL, and redirects the user there.

   * @code
   * $form_state->setRedirect('user.page');
   * @endcode
   * And here is an example of how to redirect to 'node/123?foo=bar#baz':
   * @code
   * $form_state->setRedirect('entity.node.canonical',
   *   ['node' => 123],
   *   [
