#5067: Noindex (or kill?) theme search feeds

 Theme search URLs generate dedicated RSS feeds. E.g, for a themes search
 for the word 'hotel', the following examples also exist:

 https://wordpress.org/themes/search/hotel/feed/rss2/
 https://wordpress.org/themes/search/hotel/feed/

 If there's perceived value in these, we should keep them but add an
 x-robots HTTP header with a value of 'noindex, follow'.

 If these are trash, we should 301 requests to these structures to the
 search URL in question (e.g,
 https://wordpress.org/themes/search/hotel/feed/rss2/ to
 https://wordpress.org/themes/search/hotel/).
