Description

If I go to:
https://wordpress.org/themes/non-existing/
it currently redirects to:
https://wordpress.org/themes/themes/non-existing/

Note the duplicate /themes part.

Plugins have a similar redirect, but that one makes more sense:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/non-existing/
redirects to:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/search/non-existing/

So apparently this would be the correct destination for non-existing themes as well:
https://wordpress.org/themes/search/non-existing/

In 10497:

Redirects: Trim off the sub directory path prefix before attempting to handle malformed urls.

See #5528, #5531.
