Inline event handlers need unsafe-hashes in CSP3, because an ordinary hash does not allow them

A hash in script-src allows a matching script element's contents. It does not allow an inline event handler attribute, a javascript URL, or the string form of setTimeout, even when you hash exactly those contents, because those are different execution contexts.
CSP3 adds unsafe-hashes, which extends hashes to cover them. It is genuinely weaker than a plain hash policy, since the allowed code can then run from any handler on the page, so treat it as a migration aid while handlers move into addEventListener rather than a destination. Nonces cannot help here at all: there is no way to attach a nonce to an attribute, so a nonce-only policy always breaks every inline handler in a legacy template.
