Add support for W3C Reporting API

[tmaier]

Fixes#512

Implements support for the W3C Reporting API (https://w3c.github.io/reporting/)
to enable standardized browser reporting for security violations and other issues.

Changes include:

1. New Reporting-Endpoints Header:

   • Added ReportingEndpoints header class to configure named reporting endpoints
   • Accepts hash configuration: { default: "https://example.com/reports" }
   • Generates header: Reporting-Endpoints: default="https://example.com/reports"

2. CSP report-to Directive:

   • Added report_to directive to Content Security Policy
   • New :string directive type for single token values
   • Positioned before legacy report-uri directive for clarity

3. Configuration Updates:

   • Registered reporting_endpoints in CONFIG_ATTRIBUTES_TO_HEADER_CLASSES
   • Added report_to to DIRECTIVES_3_0 (CSP Level 3)
   • Updated NON_FETCH_SOURCES to include report_to

4. Tests:

   • Complete test coverage for ReportingEndpoints header
   • CSP tests for report-to directive
   • Integration tests for both headers working together

5. Documentation:

   • Added W3C Reporting API section to README
   • Usage examples for both modern and legacy browser support
   • Configuration examples showing endpoint definition and CSP integration

Adding a new header: Reporting-Endpoints

Is the header supported by any user agent? If so, which?

• Chrome/Edge: Supported since Chrome 96
• Firefox: not supported
• Safari: Supported since Safari 16.4
• Opera: Supported since Opera 82

Browser compatibility: https://caniuse.com/wf-reporting

What does it do?

The Reporting-Endpoints header defines named endpoints where browsers can send various types of reports using the W3C Reporting API. These reports include:

• Content Security Policy violations
• Deprecated API usage warnings
• Network errors
• Interventions and crashes

It replaces the deprecated Report-To header with a simpler, more efficient format.

What are the valid values for the header?

A comma-separated list of endpoint definitions in the format: name="url"

Examples:

• Single endpoint: default="https://example.com/reports"
• Multiple endpoints: default="https://example.com/reports", csp="https://example.com/csp"

Each endpoint must have:

• name: A token (alphanumeric, hyphens, underscores) that can be referenced by reporting features
• url: A fully qualified HTTPS URL where reports will be sent via POST requests

Where does the specification live?

• https://w3c.github.io/reporting/
• Specifically: https://w3c.github.io/reporting/#header

Adding a new CSP directive: report-to

Is the directive supported by any user agent? If so, which?

• Chrome/Edge: Supported since Chrome 70/79
• Firefox: not supported
• Safari: Supported since Safari 16.4
• Opera: Supported since Opera 57

Browser compatibility: https://caniuse.com/mdn-http_headers_content-security-policy_report-to

What does it do?

The report-to directive specifies the name of a reporting endpoint (defined in the Reporting-Endpoints header) where the browser should send CSP violation reports. This is the modern replacement for the report-uri directive.

Key differences from report-uri:

• References an endpoint name rather than a URL directly
• Uses the structured Reporting API format (JSON with more metadata)
• Supports batching and retry logic
• Can be used for more than just CSP violations

What are the valid values for the directive?

A single token (string) representing the endpoint name defined in the Reporting-Endpoints header.

Examples:

• report-to default - References the "default" endpoint
• report-to csp-endpoint - References the "csp-endpoint" endpoint

Unlike report-uri (which accepts an array of URLs), report-to accepts only a single endpoint name.

Where does the specification live?

• CSP Level 3: https://w3c.github.io/webappsec-csp/#directive-report-to
• W3C Reporting API: https://w3c.github.io/reporting/

Additional Notes:

For maximum browser compatibility, both report-to (modern) and report-uri (legacy) can be used simultaneously:

config.reporting_endpoints={default: "https://example.com/reports"}config.csp={default_src: %w('self'),report_to: 'default',# Modern browsersreport_uri: %w(https://example.com/reports)# Legacy browsers}

Modern browsers will use report-to and ignore report-uri, while older browsers will fall back to report-uri.

I rebased this on #558 , since the rubocop issues reported are independent of this PR.

I thin this is obsolete due to #566
