CORS HeaderPlugin

Adds support for CORS (Cross-origin Resource Sharing) setting the 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header on the response for GET requests.

Usage requires passing in the appropriate domain names (comma-separated) that are allowed to perform cross-domain behaviors. To support cross-domain behavior globally (not recommended) send in '*'.

Example Usage:

RestExpress server = new RestExpress();
...
new CorsHeaderPlugin("*")
    .register(server);
or...
server.registerPlugin(new CorsHeaderPlugin("*"));
