Description

### Expected and Actual Behaviors

They checks that `google-adsense` or `googlesyndication` exists in `XMLHttpRequest.prototype.responseText` via `jQuery.ajax.done`.
It can be resolved if a filter maintainer can use redirection resources in `prevent-xhr` scriptlet.

Add a parameter to `prevent-xhr` that accepts a redirect resource name (e.g., `googlesyndication-adsbygoogle`) to be returned as the XHR `response`/`responseText` body instead of an empty string. This is needed when pages check the XHR response content for specific strings (e.g., `aagag.com` checks for `google-adsense`/`googlesyndication` in `responseText` via `jQuery.ajax.done`) — currently an empty response causes the site to detect blocking and break.
