Debounced sites should never show a top-level document blocking interstitial #22437

Description

Some websites have $document options (either implicitly or explicitly) in adblock filter lists, preventing users from accidentally visiting them without first clicking through a top-level document blocking interstitial. Some of those same websites are listed in our debounce list. We should avoid bringing up the interstitial for debounced links, since there are no serverside calls required for the intermediate URL and thus no privacy risk involved.

Some links found in the wild that result in an interstitial, despite being debounced:
