Tobias Gesellchen ca50451f9c fix(player): ignore port when checking WebSocket handshake origin
Gorilla's default same-origin CheckOrigin compares Origin and Host as
raw strings, port included. This repo's own documented nginx reverse-
proxy config forwards a portless Host header (nginx's $host never
includes the port, unlike $http_host) regardless of what public port
the proxy listens on. That's harmless on the scheme's default port
(the browser's Origin also omits it there), but on a non-default
public port (e.g. :8443, a realistic multi-service-hosting shape) the
browser's Origin keeps the port while the forwarded Host doesn't --
gorilla's strict compare then 403s every WebSocket handshake, silently
breaking the player's live updates in a deployment topology the docs
actively recommend.

Add checkWebSocketOrigin/sameHostIgnoringPort: gorilla's own default
policy, but comparing hostname only. Same-origin and cross-hostname
behavior is unchanged; only a port mismatch on an otherwise-matching
hostname is now tolerated. Also extracted newTestWebSocketServer,
shared by dialTestWebSocket and the origin-policy test, instead of the
origin test re-implementing the same httptest scaffolding inline.

Found in code review of PR #669 (findings #1, #2).
