arcgis-rest-geocoding: ARCGIS_ONLINE_GEOCODING_URL refers to endpoint that forwards to homepage

See original GitHub issue

https://github.com/Esri/arcgis-rest-js/commit/613837ddaa0638f826aa75d11c00ee1007cb6e72 changes the endpoint URL for geocoding requests. At least for me, that endpoint returns a 301 Moved Permanentlyand redirects to https://www.arcgis.com. This in turn causes requests to that endpoint to return an HTML file instead of a JSON, leading to a parsing error and generally unpleasant behaviour.

I see now, https://geocode-api.arcgis.com/arcgis/rest/services/World/GeocodeServer/geocodeAddresses?f=json specifically is redirecting incorrectly. I am looking into this. For now, you may pass the endpoint property as a workaround:

bulkGeocode({
    addresses: [
      { "OBJECTID": 1, "SingleLine": "380 New York Street 92373" },
      { "OBJECTID": 2, "SingleLine": "1 World Way Los Angeles 90045" }
    ],
    authentication: apiKey,
    endpoint: 'https://geocode.arcgis.com/arcgis/rest/services/World/GeocodeServer/geocodeAddresses',
  })

Could you please post a code example that causes the issue for you? (Using JSBin, etc)
