Canvas apis are used for valid reasons in third-party context. Instead of blocking the APIs completely in third-party context we should insert noise to avoid reliable fingerprinting by trackers.

Remove fingerprint exceptions for uphold and sandbox.uphold once this is fixed: https://github.com/brave/brave-core/blob/master/common/shield_exceptions.cc#L45
