Chrome applies mixed-content rules before HSTS redirects are
considered and it's unlikely that we would change that.

Otherwise sites randomly work or not based on whether the profile has
previously visited (and thus remembered HSTS for) an origin.

Also, it leaves mixed-content issues to bite people using browsers
that don't implement HSTS (and possibly allow dangerous loads).
