 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="59171"
 Bootstrap/Load: Prevent loopback scraping errors when there is no key or
 nonce.

 For error detection and rollback functions WordPress also starts a
 loopback request to the homepage. This loopback request is made with
 special parameters that when they don't match, generates an erorr. This
 hardens that flow by exiting out of the check if the nonce or key is
 missing or the nonce is not saved in the DB. It further hardens it by not
 caching the failures and asking search engines not to index the url with
 the failures.

 Props georgwordpress, swissspidy, jorbin.
 Fixes #62105.
