Hide from search engines should use noindex, nofollow instead of robots.txt#590

When an admin enables hide from search engines, it modifies the robots.txt for that subdomain/domain. This is incorrect as the page can still appear in search results if other pages link to it.

Remove the robots.txt rule and instead use a meta tag or a response header as outlined in the documentation:

@Amit from Nolt if possible, please provide the option to do either noindex or robots.txt. There are cases where you want to do one or the other.
