[Operation CORS]

To enable CORS, customize the information that the Kuroco server returns to the response header.

The origin configured for CORS is the one assigned in the Content-Security-Policy: frame-ancestors. For example, to access the Kuroco server from the local frontend http://localhost:8080, configure http://localhost:8080 as follows.

The exported configuration file is in Kuroco's own format. To include pre-/post-processing settings, check the "Including pre/post processing blocks" box.
