Feature: #107771 - Make rel attribute in external links configurable 

See forge#107771

Description 

For security reasons, external links that open in a new window should be generated with rel="noopener" to prevent the opened page to have access to the originating document via JavaScript's Window.opener object.

TYPO3's default behavior is to add rel="noreferrer" to all such links, which automatically implies rel="noopener" and even is more strict and not even sends the HTTP "Referer" header to the opened page. This behavior could be too strict and unwanted for some website owners.

This feature introduces a new TypoScript option config.linkSecurityRelValue to define the rel attribute for external links. The default behavior stays rel="noreferrer" but by setting the TypoScript property to noopener, all external links are generated with rel="noopener" instead.

The feature respects existing individual settins per link. All rel="noopener" and rel="noreferrer" from other sources are kept.

Impact 

A new TypoScript configuration option config.linkSecurityRelValue is available and can be set to "noreferrer" (default) to "noopener".

This setting affects all external links with target="_blank".
