Re: [fetch] Add a bit to Opaque Responses to distinguish redirects (#79)

The argument goes as follows:
 1. Many websites have open redirects (facebook, google, yahoo, outlook,
etc..). Essentially everyone that uses OAuth or OIC protocols has an open
redirect by design.
 2. It's likely that both, large and small sites will do cache-all
policies. See this SW, for example:
https://www.google.com/_/chrome/newtab-serviceworker.js

When developers code these SW, it's not expected for them to have to check
for redirects, because it's not really intuitive, and as a result would
create an XSS in that site.
