New issue 7722 by [email protected]: Corrupt SDCH dictionary download should  
cause exponential backoff
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=7722

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Visit a site supporting SDCH, and get a suggestion for a dicitionary
download.
2. Have a MITM (censorship filter?? AV software?) corrupt the downloaded
dictionary.
3. Each additional visit will induce yet another attempt to fetch the
dictionary


In a *similar* way to what we do with blacklisting support for SDCH, we
should blacklist dictionary fetching for progressively longer periods of
time (or attempts) with each corruption.  This blacklisting might be
global (applicable to all domains, assuming the filter is global), or might
be domain specific (assuming the dictionary server on a site is providing
corrupt dictionaries, that are not worth fetching.

Perhaps the existing domain-based blacklisting should be extended to cover
dictionary downloads.
