I plan to enable the network.http.referer.sendFromRefresh pref by default
in bug 1928291.

Summary: Send a Referer header when navigating from either a <meta> refresh
or a Refresh header, limited by Referrer Policy and tracking protection.
This is good for webcompat (see <https://bugzil.la/1479017>, for example).
