Many dubious bots send a Referer header that is equal to the current URL,
presumably to work around checks for empty Referer headers. Some of these
bots are also poorly implemented and trigger a stupid amount of 404s.
BrokenLinkEmailsMiddleware is smart enough not to report 404s without a
Referer. I suggest to make it not report 404s when the Referer it equal to
the current URL either.
