We have `DISCOURSE_ALLOW_INDEX_IN_ROBOTS_TXT` set to `false`, but the `X-Robots-Tag` header is not being sent in the response.

Any ideas of what could be happening? Not sure if it could be related to this [change](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/bb4e8899c41889f7316e512d6ed89a3847fa655b#diff-55c5b7aecfb519d0e4880eaf2788eb6e).
