referer: HTML5 browsers no longer leak pad through HTTP referer header

Browse source 
Added `rel="noreferrer"` to automatically generated links in the main pad window
as well as the chat window.

`rel="noreferrer"` is part of the HTML5 standard. While browser support isn't
100%, it's better than nothing. Future alternative solutions with wider browser
support, such as intermediary redirect pages, are unaffected by this change.
