Recaptcha is brutally picky about the User-Agent header. If it finds Safari/ in it, it insists on finding also Version/ which we already provide thanks to #3897. A blind step back then, but justified now as a right direction. Unfortunately, Recaptcha also has a strong opinion about the following number format. It definitely does not like our encoding of KittCoreVersion/TabId but it appears to like a format of LowNumber.ArbitrarySequenceOfNumbersAndDots where LowNumber formally appears to be the current running iOS version - e.g. it accepts 12 but not 123.

As we simply can't live without TabId in the UA, a different encoding scheme must be summoned up which makes Recaptcha happy.
