Add referrer overwriting

[Khodl]

This change should allow the admin to overwrite the domain. It would also solve #48 by allowing the server to include the referrer provided by Cloudflare server-side.

⚠️ As I am not really familiar with that stack, I did not test it.

I think that referrer should be changed for any further pages, right?

Otherwise it's always the page before landing.

Hm, it seems to always be the page before landing anyway.

From my understanding, here is the current scenario with Cloudflare when I arrive at my website (Untalent) from Google:

• Captcha page:

  • SimpleAnalytics script: not loaded?
  • Server referrer: n/a, Cloudflare manages this page
  • Client referrer: n/a, handled by Cloudflare
  • → Redirects to the next page.

• Next page:

  • SimpleAnalytics script: loaded.
  • Server referrer: Google (as provided by Cloudflare's proxy)
  • Client referrer: Untalent, with the cf parameter.

So, at the moment, there is one pageview counted, and since it is considered an internal link, it will not be counted as a new visit.

With the referral overwrite, the only difference is:

• Next page:
  • Client referrer: Google (overwritten).

I am not 100% sure about this, so please take it with a pinch of salt.
