I think eww does send over referrer when doing non-image stuff, so it's
a bit inconsistent.  But this should be redone more generally -- for
privacy reasons, eww shouldn't send referrer on cross-site requests, for
instance.  And there should be a way to customise this.

I've been meaning to fix this, but I keep forgetting.  I'll open a new
bug report.
