See https://jenkins.softwareheritage.org/job/DWAPPS/job/tests-on-diff/460/ for more details.

Rebase and add test for OPTIONS request

The test for the OPTIONS pre-flight request isn't sending the headers that would actually be sent by a valid pre-flight request, nor whether the response contains the needed headers to validate it.

See https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/CORS#Examples_of_access_control_scenarios > pre-flighted requests

The OPTIONS need Access-Control-Request-Method and Access-Control-Request-Headers set to relevant values, and needs to check the response for matching Access-Control-Allow-Methods and Access-Control-Allow-Headers values.
