[keycloak-user] JavaScript client, iframe and IE

We can't do that as the P3P policy is a legal policy that has to be set by
each company themselves and we can't just set something on their behalf in
Keycloak. That's why the default just says this is not a p3p policy, which
disables the whole thing. It's a stupid header that should never have been
allowed to exist at all.
