 Introduced in [52061].

 As stated in [59120], we should remove `noopener` relation value from
 `wp_list_bookmarks()`.

 > Since this was introduced, supported browsers have changed their
 security policies and no longer allow the opened link to have JavaScript
 access to the previous tab.

 To easily reproduce the issue:
 - Install the Link Manager legacy plugin and a theme that supports
 Widgets, like Twenty Twenty
 - Add some links using `target="blank` setting on them
 - Add a Link widget to a widget area
 - Confirm that the link has a `noopener` attribute
