 General: Remove the `Pragma` header from responses.

 `Pragma` is supposed to be a request header, but we've been including it
 in responses since the beginning of time.

 This is a relic dating all the way back to b2, probably originally added
 because Internet Explorer version 5 and earlier didn't understand the
 `Cache-Control` header in responses, but they did (incorrectly) obey the
 `Pragma` header.

 Internet Explorer 6 and 7 will obey the `Pragma` response header only if
 no other cache-related response headers are present (in our case, they are
 always present), and all other browsers ignore the `Pragma` response
 header.

 Props geekysoft.
 Fixes #37250.
 Fixes #36744.
