Core Rule Set: Ghost posts and code injection take a script element (closes #358)
check / check (push) Waiting to run

While bodies are read, 941110 refused a `<script>` element in an HTML card
that embeds a widget, and in code injection that loads analytics. The new
exclusion 900366 switches 941110 off on the Admin API for `lexical`,
`mobiledoc` and `html` of posts and pages, their `codeinjection_head` and
`codeinjection_foot`, and settings `value`. Snippets, a newsletter's footer
and every other field and path still refuse it; `javascript:` links stay
refused everywhere.
