Yao Xiao e28349efcc Bug 1834902 [wpt PR 40209] - [Topics] pad topics header to make it harder to expose information via its length, a=testonly
Automatic update from web-platform-tests
[Topics] pad topics header to make it harder to expose information via its length

What:
Switch to a different header format to allow padding.
Example: "t=(1;v=chrome.1:1:2), p=P00000000000"

The total length of the inner topics list plus the padding depends on the number of distinct version in the underlying epochs:
- If it's 0 or 1, use 27
  ("100;v=chrome.1:1:10 200 300")
- If it's 2, use 43
  ("100;v=chrome.1:1:10 200;v=chrome.1:1:20 300")
- If it's 3, use 59
  ("100;v=chrome.1:1:10 200;v=chrome.1:1:20 300;v=chrome.1:1:30")

This assumes maximum 3 digit topic ID, 2 digit model version,
and 1 digit config version and taxonomy version.

Why: Servers typically have a GET request size limit e.g. 8KB, and
will return an error when the limit is reached. An attacker can rely
this to learn the number of topics for a different origin.
