I'm thinking of a case where a frame loads `http://a.com/`, which redirects
to `http://b.com/`, which redirects to `http://c.com/`. If `b.com` sends
`frame-ancestors 'none'` or `X-Frame-Options: DENY`, I think we shouldn't
follow the redirect to `c.com`.

I doubt that's currently how Blink works, now that I think about it, but
it's probably something we should support.
