HTTPS redirection loop

Description of the issue:
When a site forces an http connection (that means, the site redirects https β†’ http), and having the automatic upgrade to https connections, then an infinite redirect loop begins.

Steps to Reproduce (add as many as necessary):
1.
Launch Brave
2. Visit http://radio.garden/ (with the Upgraded HTTPs connections shield setting enabled)

Actual Result (gifs and screenshots are welcome!):
The site never fully loads, it gets stuck in a redirect loop until the shield is manually disabled.
If you forget about it, it blocks the whole browser after a while (will not be able to load even a localhost site).
It might also be an issue if the loop silently happens over a resource (like an image) instead of the main site, but I don’t have a website to test that.

Expected R esult:
It should detect the redirection loop and stop trying to upgrade this particular connection, leaving it as http.

Reproduces how often:
Always

Brave Version(See the About Brave page in the main menu):
Brave release - v1.20.110 Chromium: 88.0.4324.192 (64 Bits)

Reproducible on current live release (yes/no):
Yes

Additional information:
Works correctly when the shield is disabled.
