[Building Sakai] IMS LTI

This is true, but if the user initiates the popup then it's not blocked,
this is fixed in BLTI-112 <https://jira.sakaiproject.org/browse/BLTI-112> so
at least helps the problem.

Dr. Chuck and others are planning on replacing/updating Web Content as a
portlet for 2.10 (https://jira.sakaiproject.org/browse/SAK-12563) mostly
because most big sites are doing a "X-Frame-Options SAMEORIGIN" nowadays.
This is a bigger problem for most users than http/https.
