 If your site does not have a robots.txt file and `example.com/robots.txt`
 is requested, WordPress kicks in and generates a robots.txt file for you.

 The problem is that `is_home()` returns true at this point when it
 shouldn't. This can cause problems with plugins/themes that hook into the
 `template_redirect` hook and then redirect or alter output based on the
 `is_home()` conditional.

 The end result is that a site can be outputting a complete page when
 `example.com/robots.txt` is requested, instead of the plain robots.txt
 file.

 Also affects `is_front_page()` where applicable.
