Use DNT: 1 as an experiment opt-out mechanism
What does this MR do?
GitLab runs pseudoanonymous experiments on our users, tracking data on various things. Currently, there is no way to opt out of being involved in these experiments. I raised this in #119107 and got agreement for an opt-out mechanism using DNT: 1
to be implemented. This MR implements that decision.
