Fixes #10373

Some origins can contain different applications with different levels of security requirements. In those cases, it can be beneficial to prevent scripts running in one application from being able to open and script pages of another same-origin application.

In such cases, it can be beneficial for a document to ensure its opener cannot script it, even if the opener document is a same-origin one.

This PR adds a noopener-allow-popups Cross-Origin-Opener-Policy value that severs the opener relationship between the document loaded with this policy and its opener. At the same time, this document can open further documents (as the "allow-popups" in the name suggests) and maintain its opener relationship with them, assuming that their COOP policy allows it.

Would like to hear what @camillelamy thinks as well, but I think one change I'd like to see is that we drop "cross-origin" from the internal naming scheme now that we make it apply to same-origin scenarios.

(We probably don't want to change any of the IDs though.)

It also seems to me some other algorithms need updating here:

  • obtain a cross-origin opener policy
  • check if COOP values require a browsing context group switch

Would it make sense to spin off this editorial only change to a separate PR? (happy to work on it, just wondering RE editorial vs. functional split)

  • obtain a cross-origin opener policy

Oops, added!

  • check if COOP values require a browsing context group switch

I think this is covered by the change to matching COOP, but I could be I'm missing something..

@yoavweiss I think once we have agreement for this PR, that could be a separate PR as well (to be landed first). It would be a bit of extra work, but I agree that it would be nicer.

The `noopener-allow-popups` COOP value would enable a document to ensure it can't be scripted by other same-origin documents that have opened it.
