Summary: Add add-server-header

Initial Comment:
Add add-server-header action for server responses like "add-header" for client requests, to do something like
+add-server-header{X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN}
Otherwise the user must always modify an existing server header with SERVER-HEADER-FILTER in 3.0.19(?)

Message:
Thanks for the suggestion.

I agree that having a +add-server-header{} action wouldn't hurt but don't
consider it a priority.

Note that header filters can already add headers by using \r\n in the
replacement text:

SERVER-HEADER-FILTER: add-x-frame-options Inject an X-Frame-Options server
header
s@^HTTP.*@$0\r\nX-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN@

As far as Privoxy is concerned it's a header modification, but from the
client's point of view it's a new header.

BTW, I briefly tested the filter and the most noticeable effect of adding
the header to all responses seems to be that Firefox quickly gets killed
after running out of swap space ...
