YOURLS plugin : 404 if not found Listed in Awesome YOURLS!

By default and by design, when a requested short URL is not found, YOURLS redirects to the site root with a "302 temporary redirect" header.

From the source:

yourls_redirect( YOURLS_SITE, 302 ); // no 404 to tell browser this might change,
                                     // and also to not pollute logs

This plugin outputs a default "404 not found" error page instead.
