Interally within WMF we do not access the API servers via external
hostnames, but we need to access the APIs for a given wiki via our
internal appserver endpoint. Currently this is not possible as using
the appserver hostname directly doesn't set a valid Host header for a
wiki. This change adds an origin parameter to the Session object
which allows the host to be used as the HTTP Host header while
connecting to the IP or hostname of the given origin.
