Description
Expected Behavior
Most of the other HeaderSpecs have a disable option, but ServerHttpSecurity.HeaderSpec.ReferrerPolicySpec is missing it.
Current Behavior
There is no way to disable the ReferrerPolicy header unless you use headers.disable(), but that makes .writer() not work.

Research direction
Start at ServerHttpSecurity.HeaderSpec.ReferrerPolicySpec and compare its API with the other HeaderSpecs that provide a disable option. Verify how disabling Referrer-Policy should interact with headers.disable() and writer(); done means callers can disable only this header while retaining writer() behavior. Add or update tests if the surrounding implementation identifies a test location.
