Alex Hall e590e65a3f (core) Allow requests from untrusted origins but without credentials
Summary:
Allow requests from untrusted origins instead of returning an error, but don't allow credentials (Cookie header) or API keys (Authorization header).

Allow setting the header `Content-type: application/json` as an alternative to `X-Requested-With: XMLHttpRequest` to make it easier for clients to make POST/PUT/PATCH/DELETE requests without authentication.

Discussion: https://grist.slack.com/archives/C0234CPPXPA/p1666355281535479

Test Plan: Added and updated DocApi tests. Tested manually how this affects requests made from a browser.
