SWW_APPS: an app's Core Rule Set fixes apply only to the hostnames that serve it (closes #220)
check / check (push) Failing after 18m2s

Each app's fixes are one .conf file and one entry in apps. They apply
only while Inspect has set the app's transaction variable, such as
tx.app_gitea. SWW_APPS names each hostname's apps. A hostname gets only
its apps' fixes; while SWW_APPS is unset, every hostname gets every
app's fixes.

A hostname in SWW_APPS that is not a DNS name, such as *.example.com,
stops the start. Unset, SWW_APPS is logged at start as null; set
empty, as "".
