Support HTTP Strict Transport Security

Summary:
Ref T4340. The attack this prevents is:

  - An adversary penetrates your network. They acquire one of two capabilities:
    - Your server is either configured to accept both HTTP and HTTPS, and they acquire the capability to observe HTTP traffic.
    - Or your server is configured to accept only HTTPS, and they acquire the capability to control DNS or routing. In this case, they start a proxy server to expose your secure service over HTTP.
  - They send you a link to `http://secure.service.com` (note HTTP, not HTTPS!)
  - You click it since everything looks fine and the domain is correct, not noticing that the "s" is missing.
  - They read your traffic.

This is similar to attacks where `https://good.service.com` is proxied to `https://good.sorvace.com` (i.e., a similar looking domain), but can be more dangerous -- for example, the browser will send (non-SSL-only) cookies and the attacker can write cookies.

This header instructs browsers that they can never access the site over HTTP and must always use HTTPS, defusing this class of attack.

Test Plan:
  - Configured HTTPS locally.
  - Accessed site over HTTP (got application redirect) and HTTPS.
  - Enabled HSTS.
  - Accessed site over HTTPS (to set HSTS).
  - Tore down HTTPS part of the server and tried to load the site over HTTP. Browser refused to load "http://" and automatically tried to load "https://". In another browser which had not received the "HSTS" header, loading over HTTP worked fine.
  - Brought the HTTPS server back up, things worked fine.
  - Turned off the HSTS config setting.
  - Loaded a page (to set HSTS with expires 0, diabling it).
  - Tore down the HTTPS part of the server again.
  - Tried to load HTTP.
  - Now it worked.
