Work towards the greatest level of referrer security.

Pull request with discussion: ether#3636

What's already there:
* meta name=referrer: already done in 1.6.1: ether#3044
  https://caniuse.com/#feat=referrer-policy
  https://w3c.github.io/webappsec-referrer-policy/#referrer-policy-delivery-meta
  (Chrome>=78, Firefox>=70, Safari>=13, Opera>=64, ~IE[1], ~Edge[1])

The previous two commits (by @joelpurra) I backported in this batch:
* a rel=noreferrer: a pull request denied before: ether#2498
  https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/links.html#link-type-noreferrer
  https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Link_types
  (Firefox>=37, I can't find more info about support)

This commit adds the following:
* a rel=noopener: fixing a not-so-well-known way to extract referer
  https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/links.html#link-type-noopener
  (Chrome>=49, Firefox>=52, Safari>=10.1, Opera>=36, !IE, !Edge)
* Referrer-Policy: same-origin: the last bastion of referrer security
  https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Referrer-Policy
  (Chrome>=61, Firefox>=52, Safari>=11.1, Opera>=48, !IE, !Edge)

meta name=referrer wasn't enough. I happened to leak a few referrers with my Firefox browser,
though for some browsers it could have been enough.

[1] IE>=11, Edge>=18 use a different syntax for meta name=referrer, making it most probably
    incompatible (but I may be wrong on that, they may support both, but I have no way to test
    it currently). The next Edge release will be based on Chromium, so for that the Chrome version
    applies.
