    Preload `/api/` and `/api/links` responses in boot script · 6704964a

    https://github.com/hypothesis/h/pull/5862 introduced an optimization to
    startup of the sidebar app by preloading the `/api/` and `/api/links`
    requests.
    
    Because this change was made in h it only benefitted the embedded
    client, but not the browser extension.
    
    This commit moves the logic to add the `<link rel="preload">` links to
    the client's boot script. The upside of this is that it works with all
    distributions of the client and can be changed in future without needing
    to modify h and the browser extension etc. separately.
    
    The downside is that because the `<link>`
    is no longer in the sidebar app's HTML but in the boot script the
    prefetch will start a little later.
    
    Since Cloudflare caches the `/api/` and `/api/links` responses, these requests
    are still very likely to have completed by the time the client code starts executing.
