Spell check dictionaries are downloaded from Google

[longsleep]

Try adding a new language (Settings -> Languages) and add a language other than English (eg. German - Deutsch). Then on the right, it offers a button to download spell dictionaries.

Spell check dictionary download failed.
Please check with your network administrator to make sure that the firewall is not blocking downloads from Google servers.

This probably goes to some trk URL. @theurere can you please debug and add the details here.

It attempts to fetch:

With 43.1 it tries to fetch this:

The button is just called "Use this language for spell checking". Apart from our trk:173 warning bubble, nothing would otherwise inform the user that a background download takes place, nor that it is Google which is being contacted. Guess I should change the button label.

Good idea. I like it pretty much if we change labels when stuff is loaded from Google on user interaction. Eg. "Load this language from Google".

Makes me wonder if we should just cache it like the safebrowsing list.

+1 sounds good to me.
