Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Strip Authorization header whenever root URL changes

Previously the header was stripped only if the hostname changed, but in
an https -> http redirect that can leak the credentials on the wire
(#4716). Based on with RFC 7235 section 2.2, the header is now stripped
if the "canonical root URL" (scheme+authority) has changed, by checking
scheme, hostname and port.
