[EPIC] Support User-Agent Client Hints header in CheckUser
Closed, ResolvedPublic3 Estimated Story Points

Description

Goal

Google Chrome sends a reduced user agent header (see T242825: Deal with Google Chrome User-Agent deprecation for more context). This impacts the work of CheckUsers who rely on detailed user agent header in detecting sockpuppets. After talking to Legal, Trust&Safety and stewards, the desired way forward is to continue to get the user-agent data from Chrome, per Chrome's proposed Client-Hints standard. The standard is not yet implemented by Firefox or Safari. Mozilla's position on the standard is "neutral".
