Enable HTTP response headers configuration

Reduce the risk of cookie/session-related hijacking of web apps using a system property.

If the glide.http.headers_config.enabled system property isn't set to true, then response header configurations defined in the HTTP Response Headers [sys_response_header] table aren't used. Security related HTTP response headers include Content Security Policy, which aids in XSS-related protections. For details on HTTP response headers, see http-response-header.

Ensure that the property glide.http.headers_config.enabled is set to true.
