Motivation for the change, related issues
It is likely that some folks will attempt to abuse the CORS proxy, and if they succeed despite our defensive measures, we would like to limit the risk of that abuse being associated with the Playground web app itself. Let's separate the CORS proxy from the web app.
Implementation details
This PR adds a workflow to deploy the CORS proxy to a dedicated host.
We need to help folks transition from the CORS proxy on playground.wordpress.net to the proxy on the dedicated host. We could even consider keeping a more restricted version of the proxy on playground.wordpress.net, though having two instances would likely be confusing.
