[config] Lowercase the FQDN we get from the OS (closes #5040345) Browsers convert the host name part of URLs to lowercase. This has the unfortunate effect of triggering various CORS error messages in CubicWeb (because the Origin: header will contain lowercase letters). As per RFC 4343, host name comparison should be case-insensitive. So let's put it in lowercase when we grab it from the host system. If admins put uppercase letters in "host" or "base-url" in their all-in-one.conf, then it's their fault.

About this site
===============

This web application is based on the CubicWeb knowledge management system
from Logilab_. CubicWeb is made of an object database and a web
framework. It allows to develop an application by defining a set of
entities and their relationships, plus a set of views that present the
data selected from the object database using a specific query language.

This application has a precise schema_ and can be considered an
example of a semantic web database, as it can export the data to XML
and others formats and is not limited to publishing HTML.
