    user-agent: restore application branding
    
    This is part of a deal with Google to stop accounts.google.com from
    discriminating against us. It's a very risky change, but we'll try it
    for now and make a list of websites that it breaks.
    
    Historical background, in order of recency:
    
    https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=240041
    https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=222978
    https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=222039#c5
    https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/epiphany/-/merge_requests/595
    
    Also, remove the web app branding, since the risk outweighs the reward
    and I don't want a separate set of bugs in web app mode. I believe only
    one website was using this:
    
    https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=767123
