Nika Layzell 7fb185e583 Bug 1868001 - Part 1: Ignore Content-Disposition if DONT_RETARGET is set, r=smaug
This patch modifies the behaviour of loads when the DONT_RETARGET
nsIURILoader flag is set, making them ignore the Content-Disposition
header. This means that loads which cannot trigger downloads will
attempt to display handleable content which would otherwise be
downloaded.

This keeps overall behaviour of object/embed elements more similar to
their behaviour pre-Fission, while allowing them to load attachment PDFs
and Images as-if they were being displayed by a plugin.

This patch does not change the existing behaviour around
unknown/unhandleable resource types in object/embed elements.
In Gecko, object/embed elements are prevented from triggering downloads
or external protocol handlers during their initial load. Other browser
engines can trigger a download for an unknown resource type (or
sometimes an attachment resource).

The new pref dom.navigation.object_embed.allow_retargeting can be
enabled to instead trigger a download when loading these resources
within an object/embed element.
