Re: [fetch] Exempt HSTS-upgraded resources from mixed content blocking (#150)

@bifurcation: Are you working with @rlbmoz on this? This is super-similar to the priming that he proposed (and that I've started writing up at http://mikewest.github.io/hsts-priming/ so I can shop it around to folks who have expressed concerns in the past). :)

@annevk: No, blocking mixed content doesn't have special side-effects. I do need to split CSP into a "report-only" and "enforce" step, however, as we want the former to trigger before upgrading, and the latter after.

Relatedly, I agree that we would want to do this for all non-navigational requests coming from a client that restricts mixed content. I don't think we'd want to do it just for blockable content types, as that would still lead to loading insecure content in some cases where we could otherwise avoid it.
