Description

Sandboxed iframes support loading content in a separate unique origin (when the allow-same-origin is not set). This solves many (not all) of the problems described in #615, for browsers that support it: Chrome, IE10+, and soon Firefox 17+.

Note that if we sandbox by default, that will affect the ability to save the raw version of files with in-browser-viewable MIME types served from Tahoe (because it will also save the framing page). To mitigate that we also need #827.
