Should we also keep ARIA attributes?

This file is almost identical to https://github.com/EFForg/privacybadger/blob/master/src/js/firstparties/google-static.js. What if we reuse google-static.js, conditionally setting the DOM selector variable (based on document.domain maybe)?

We probably don't need a unit test for this PR, especially if we reuse google-static.js for Tumblr.

Where should I be seeing these links, in the Tumblr dashboard, on individual Tumblr blogs, or both?
Has t.umblr.com been retired in favor of href.li? I see href.li in the dashboard and on individual blogs.
The dashboard comes with infinite scrolling, so a single pass of unwrapping isn't enough.
Turns out tumblr has familiar redirects on every outgoing link. Whether or not it's for tracking or just analytics, this proposed change scrubs the links of all unwanted things and reassigns the href to what the user expects.
