Mitigate media repo XSSs on IE11. (#10468)

IE11 doesn't support Content-Security-Policy but it has support for
a non-standard X-Content-Security-Policy header, which only supports the
sandbox directive. This prevents script execution, so it at least offers
some protection against media repo-based attacks.
