SWW_APPS: an app's Core Rule Set fixes apply only to the hostnames that serve it (closes #220)

gitea's fixes (its parameters, its cookies and gitea.conf) now apply
only to a hostname SWW_APPS lists gitea for, or to every hostname while
it is unset. Each app's fixes are one .conf file, whose first rule skips
the rest unless Inspect sets tx.app_<name>, and one entry in apps.

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 "".
