Extension doesn't work on the Training site #103

In Chrome, I think we use cookies to test if RECAP should be enabled or not, and on the training site:

https://dcecf.psc.uscourts.gov/cgi-bin/login.pl

It appears that the cookies are different or something else isn't working like it should. This makes development more expensive, since you have to use the real sites.

If we have to write custom code to handle this, we might also want to use a special icon when we're on this site so that our devs get a nice easter egg. Might be overkill though, if it's not easy....

Turns out that not working on the training sites is probably fine. I just yanked this support from the extension b/c otherwise we get uploads from the training sites, and we probably don't want that.

For the record, I disagree (because people should be able to test RECAP on training servers. Both RECAP developers and people who want to learn how it works), but I recognize it's way easier to nix it from the client than handle it on the server.
