Description

Add a gflag to allow users to determine what sites have access to the master and tserver UI. Currently, it is set to Access-Control-Allow-Origin: * by default.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how gflags are defined in the codebase, specifically for UI related settings. Locate the current CORS header implementation and add a new flag to override the default '*'.
