Re: [whatwg/fetch] Block requests for suspected dangling markup. (#519)

https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/forum/#!msg/blink-dev/rOs6YRyBEpw/D3pzVwGJAgAJ spells out the justification a little more clearly. If folks don't fundamentally object, this is something I plan to try out in Chrome: relevant metrics show ~0.0006% of page views (https://www.chromestatus.com/metrics/feature/timeline/popularity/1770).

If we could get rid of the newline scan entirely by rejecting URLs with those characters outright, I'd be even happier. Chrome's initial metrics are high (https://www.chromestatus.com/metrics/feature/timeline/popularity/1768), but they're also wrong because a) I forgot to initialize the URL's "was whitespace removed?" flag, so it's sometimes randomly `true` (*sigh*), b) they're counting all URL completions, and not just those that result in requests. So I'm still hopeful, despite the ~0.02% it shows at the moment.
