@gustavonalle PRs welcome Working on it
Enable different Cors rules per origin
### Expected behavior

It'd be nice to configure the CorsHandler so that I can specify a different set of permissions based on the Origin. 

Example, if origin is http://localhost:8080/ I'd like to allow all methods and auth, but for a certain external Url I'd like to be stricter and limit it for GET only.

### Actual behavior

Current the CorsHandler is configured with a single CorsConfig object that specifies the permissions for one or more origin; CorsConfig's ```allowedRequestMethods```, ```allowedRequestHeaders``` and others apply to all origins.

### Steps to reproduce

### Minimal yet complete reproducer code (or URL to code)

### Netty version

4.1.22.Final

### JVM version (e.g. `java -version`)

### OS version (e.g. `uname -a`)
