* feat(metarefresh): randomly use the Refresh header

There are several ways to trigger an automatic refresh without
JavaScript. One of them is the "meta refresh" method[1], but the other
is with the Refresh header[2]. Both are semantically identical and
supported with browsers as old as Chrome version 1.

Given that they are basically the same thing, this patch makes Anubis
randomly select between them by using the challenge random data's first
character. This will fire about 50% of the time.

I expect this to have no impact. If this works out fine, then I will
implement some kind of fallback logic for the fast challenge such that
admins can opt into allowing clients with a no-js configuration to pass
the fast challenge. This needs to bake in the oven though.
