Configuration of hostname(s) for RSE API

Remote System Explorer API is currently outputting messages to STDERR when the external DNS name does not match the local hostname of the LPAR: request host doesn't match server - possible host header injection!

This message is used within the context of HTTP operations. Local hostnames often differ form the used external ones. An option should be added to specify the hostnames that should be allowed. Also the current message is not descriptive at all. The request header should be dumped to further analyze and realize when there could be an actual host header injection. The current message doesn't provide that.
