Remove http.headers.Link.blocking 
This was implemented and has since been removed from the only browser that implemented it more than two years ago, and thus qualifies for removal per policy.

To make this easier to comprehend, and based on chromium/chromium@1d8c45a#diff-4b938e3a1dedc77093c5a2e3471fb2cb1c9c89e953fefc2394d9b27b65f8c91d and chromium/chromium@1372f23, could we first update this statement in the next release, and delete the statement only in the following release:

Yeah, it'd be nice for the blame to show this—so there's two commits for it. But it does meet the guidelines, so it's OK if it all happens in the same release.

@gsnedders I'll open a PR with the change above, and then we just need to rebase this one later.

That PR is merged, but I would prefer to have Chrome's removal in the published BCD version before preceeding with removing the feature altogether.
