 whether they intend to start a new session with a new session ID. meek-
 server would drop requests with an unknown session ID that don't have this
 bit set, and would request the bit to be not set for any existing session
 ID. That way we would drop the client connection before it gets passed
 through to tor.

 No; we'll fall back to the previous behavior if clients don't send
 whatever header has the flag in it (treat it as true/false/null). I think
 we're going to have to add a header with flags for #12857 anyway.
