Nginx build with security headers module

DJ Mountney requested to merge ngx-security-headers into master

Allows users to disable the Server header in nginx by introducing a new module.

We are not enabling the feature by default, as the security benefit is debatable. But for users that are seeing errors in vuln scanners that want to disable it can.
