jsonrpc: CORS for browser access from multiple sites

[jsonrpc].origins allowlists the websites whose browser JS may call the
stats API cross-site. The request Origin is echoed back only when it is
on the list (never *), OPTIONS preflight is answered with the allowed
method/headers, and Vary: Origin is always set. Non-listed origins get
no allow-origin header, so browsers block them.
