Proxy rewrites Origin header to match the target server URL #1212

The new proxy option introduced in #282 works well for GET requests but many browsers send Origin headers with same-origin POST/PUT/DELETE requests.

This pull request makes the http-proxy-middleware to overwrite the original Origin header (if set) to match the target server URL.

Could you please explain how to verify this works? Maybe you could create an example
app on top of which I could test this change?

See https://github.com/koles/react-scripts-pr-1212

The app POSTs a dummy authentication payload to a web service specified in the "proxy" attribute of the package.json file and displays the result, see https://github.com/koles/react-scripts-pr-1212/blob/master/src/App.js for details.

Before applying the patch (using react-scripts 0.8.3):
Service responds with status 403 (Cross origin requests not allowed).

After:
Service responds with status 401 (Bad Login or Password!) - clearly the request was accepted and processed.
