Allows httpNodeCors to be configured for a NR under the device agent.

Description

To allow API endpoints or dashboard to be loaded from different sources this needs to be added to the settings.js for the Node-RED instance under the Device agent.

I suggest it becomes something that can be added to the device.yml to be included.

From the default NR settings.js

    /** The following property can be used to configure cross-origin resource sharing
     * in the HTTP nodes.
     * See https://github.com/troygoode/node-cors#configuration-options for
     * details on its contents. The following is a basic permissive set of options:
     */
    //httpNodeCors: {
    //    origin: "*",
    //    methods: "GET,PUT,POST,DELETE"
    //},

Is that a sensible thing to just be throwing in for all Node-RED instances running via the Agent? Not clear to me if this is still a priority, @gstout52 will let you assign/shift accordingly.

@hardillb Can you say more about what value this change will bring to the user?

This allows dashboards hosted in devices to be embedded in other webpages

@joepavitt The suggestion is to make it configurable Either in the FF UI or via the device.yml file

The device-agent part of this was completed under FlowFuse/device-agent#241
