Subject: Introduce a guard against DNS rebinding attacks

The ActionDispatch::HostAuthorization is a new middleware that prevent
against DNS rebinding and other Host header attacks. By default it is
included only in the development environment with the following
configuration:

    Rails.application.config.hosts = [
      IPAddr.new("0.0.0.0/0"), # All IPv4 addresses.
      IPAddr.new("::/0"),      # All IPv6 addresses.
      "localhost"              # The localhost reserved domain.
    ]

In other environments, `Rails.application.config.hosts` is empty and no
Host header checks will be done. If you want to guard against header
attacks on production, you have to manually permit the allowed hosts
with:

    Rails.application.config.hosts << "product.com"

The host of a request is checked against the hosts entries with the case
operator (#===), which lets hosts support entries of type RegExp,
Proc and IPAddr to name a few. Here is an example with a regexp.

    # Allow requests from subdomains like `www.product.com` and
    # `beta1.product.com`.
    Rails.application.config.hosts << /.*\.product\.com/

A special case is supported that allows you to permit all sub-domains:

    # Allow requests from subdomains like `www.product.com` and
    # `beta1.product.com`.
    Rails.application.config.hosts << ".product.com"
