[PATCH] Normalizing the Host: header

Anything which can contain a host name would apply.

Location comes into my mind, but that is a response header which only needs to
get matched and also it will most likely be generated by the backend the varnish
admin has under control.

Of the request headers, Referer is probably matched sometimes.

P.S.: I just noticed that facebook is actually amongst the clients sending
non-normalized Host headers (under the assumption that I can trust the UA).
