     * redirected to a new destination page. This function figures out what that
     * destination should be, based on the $form_state and the 'destination'
     * query string in the request URL, and redirects the user there.

     * determines where to redirect the user. See the possible return values
     * listed there. If the result is FALSE, then the user will not be redirected.
     *
     * Here is an example of how to set up a form to redirect to the path 'user':
     * @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',
     *   array('node' => 123),
     *   array(
     *     'query' => array(
