Add rel="noreferrer" to links when openLinksInNewWindow is on. Also add noopener when openLinksInNewWindow is on. target="_blank" without also adding rel="noopener noreferrer" creates a vulnerability (since the site you're linking to has access to the window.opener by default. This adds rel="noopener noreferrer" to links generated by the makeHtml converter when openLinksInNewWindow is true. Closes #670
