Core Rule Set: a Ghost post's or page's canonical URL passes with a command or a file in it (closes #374)

While bodies are read, 932120 refused the canonical URL
`https://example.com/blog/powershell/` and 930120 refused
`https://example.com/blog/.htaccess/`. The new exclusions 900383 and 900384
switch both rules off for `posts.N.canonical_url` under
`/ghost/api/admin/posts/` and `pages.N.canonical_url` under
`/ghost/api/admin/pages/`, as `url` does, and only when the query has no field
of that name. The recorded requests gain the saves the Ghost 6.76.0 admin
sends when those addresses are set in a post's and a page's settings.
