[Bug 7918] prefetching: allow site to deny

I support reopening. Thanks.

Universalizing from X-Moz might be good.

One concern, but maybe I misunderstand something: If X-Moz results in the TCP
connection being closed and Google says to send a 404 error for X-Moz, does
that interfere with fetching when the time comes for a timely fetch of the same
file that denied prefetch? And does sending a 404 error interfere with viewing
the current page? I'm unclear why a 404 error is supposed to be helpful to the
visitor for a prefetch denial if fetching will proceed. Prefetch denial could
be stated in a status bar, if that's helpful and wouldn't interfere with
current-page viewing or timely fetching.

I'm happy with any solution that works. If there's a better way than a use.txt
file, great.

Thank you.
