Dan Stillman bb925723fd Automatically set Referer for external attachment downloads
Rather than requiring translators to explicitly set a referrer, as
proposed in #772 and #1375, this simply sets it to the URL where the
save button was triggered. This fixes the Project Euclid example
in #772. It's possible it won't fix all cases, since the translator might
build the URL manually or via an intermediate page, but hopefully it
will fix the majority of cases.

I guess there's a possibility that this would break something that
currently works, but it's hard to imagine a site would block based on
the wrong referrer from the right site and not block on no referrer.

Unlike #1375, this doesn't bother with the referrer for native downloads
(e.g., snapshots or images). The former probably don't need it, and the
latter should probably be switched to use `saveURI()` anyway.

This might also fix zotero/translators#523 (SSRN) if the translator
allowed it.

Closes #1375
