This allows modern browsers to send a Referrer of https://wordpress.com when a user click on an outside link in Calypso. This will allows stats collectors to see when a click came from the Reader instead of totally dropping the referrer information. Matches the old Atlas behavior.

See https://w3c.github.io/webappsec-referrer-policy/#referrer-policy-delivery-meta for docs on the policy. Avoiding using origin-when-cross-origin or any of the new policies because not everyone has picked them up, as per caniuse.
