This commit adds the cookieless A/A test to government-frontend, which fires on every request. The purpose of the cookieless A/A test is to test an approach with our CDN which does not use cookies for A/B testing, and is something that we intend to use to A/B test the cookie consent banner should the A/A test be successful; as the cookie consent banner is presented up until users either consent to or decline cookies, we need to be able to understand which variant a user falls in before they have consented to cookies. The data involved in this is the variant of the test only - no other data is being sent to analytics, and data that is generally sent by default has been masked by hardcoding the various properties. This test has been approved by IA on the basis set out above, for collecting only variant data. In terms of the changes in this commit, there is _some_ duplication with the cookieless-tracker.js file, which has been largely copied from _Static_ but scoped only to send the data that we need to send. This approach has been verified with @DilwoarH.

This PR adds a new Cookieless A/A test, which sends hit-only data to analytics up until cookies have been accepted by the user. This is necessary to understand whether we can rely on the approach offered by our CDN to reliably assign users to a variant of an A/B test and maintain that variant, such that we'd expect to see an even distribution of users across all active variants of a test (or according to any prescribed percentages of variants).
This PR should not be merged until we're ready to turn on the A/A test.
