An open redirect can be possible when users are able to set the value of session[:return_to]. If the value used for return_to contains multiple leading slashes (/////example.com) the user ends up being redirected the external domain that comes after the slashes (http://example.com). To fix this issue, extra sanitization was added when processing the return_to url, removing multiple leading slashes to avoid the open redirect. Co-authored-by: Kirill Efimov <kirill89@gmail.com>

thoughtbot#945 Since we're stuck on Rails 4 for a while yet, we are adding this fix to an earlier, compatible version of clearance for our own use.
