datasette #3046: Don't serve link: rel=next HTTP headers to Firefox for HTML pages
This was happening because Datasette pages serve an HTTP link header like this:
link: <https://latest.datasette.io/fixtures/compound_three_primary_keys?_next=a%2Cd%2Cv>; rel="next"
This is bad. A tiny fraction of the visitors to one of those pages will click the "next" link, which means their browser is fetching unnecessary data and the Datasette server is having to render an entire page that then gets thrown away.
