In #16625, we found that Firefox's network prediction was partially
disabled due to our use of SOCKS proxy settings, and also that it wasn't
properly getting isolated in the cache or elsewhere.
We should try to enable this, though, as it will likely represent a
significant decrease in page load times. If we enable isolation, the only
real privacy issue is prediction for link hover, and that can be easily
disabled in Predictor::PredictForLink() (there already is a check to
disable it for HTTPS links).
