Description

If a wiki has their referrer policy set to no referrer, then they can have issues with Leaflet tiles returning errors due to violating OSM's Tile Usage Policy.

To avoid this from happening, Maps should allow for setting a separate referrer policy for individual calls or extension-wide.

Research direction

Start by tracing how Maps issues Leaflet tile requests and how the wiki's referrer policy reaches those calls. Decide whether the policy should apply per request or extension-wide, then verify that tile requests use the configured policy without violating the OSM Tile Usage Policy.
