Subject: [PATCH] Handle special case of Pilot for Hosting Policy

A rather unelegant workaround to handle the case of no currrent hosting
policy to redirect people to the pilot.

This allows us to change the footer link to be just '/hosting-policy'
and have it handled by the HostingPolicyRenderer but still redirect
to the pilot component.

Added comments to ensure we remove this cruft as soon as the pilot policy
is redundant.

Bug: T432965
