WIP Patch

This is the part of bug 171934 that is controversial since we don't necessarily resolve localhost and .localhost to loopback addresses. Let's try with a disabled-by-default flag first.

This patch modifies the imported WPT tests. Please ensure that any changes on the tests (not coming from a WPT import) are exported to WPT. Please see https://trac.webkit.org/wiki/WPTExportProcess

What happens to the non-web-platform-tests if we just make the change without a preference?

They are failing because these tests assume loopback ip addresses and localhost addresses are mixed content. 

If we don't want to add the pref change, we would need something similar to what is done for WPT upstream in order to use different hostnames (see bug 127676).
