Note: Some HTTP/1.0 caches might not implement Cache-Control.

Is this warning still relevant? If we want to keep it, I think we need to qualify it; e.g., "A few old HTTP/1.0 caches that are unlikely to be used on the open Internet..."

Similar text in cc: no-cache.

Even HTTP/1.0 caches now support Age and CC

... it's just deployments of very very old caches that would be of concern here.

Given how unlikely this is in 2020, how broken they would be for other reasons, and the
prevalence of HTTPS, it seems safe to modify these statements.

Fixes #660.
