Classic298 8ace4f0a8a perf: stop recomputing static work in per-response ASGI middlewares (#27229)
SecurityHeadersMiddleware called set_security_headers() on every
response — 14 os.environ.get lookups plus a regex validation per
configured header, for values that are static for the process
lifetime. Compute the header list once at construction; when no
security env vars are set, skip wrapping send entirely.

RedirectMiddleware decoded and parse_qs'd the query string of every
GET, though it only acts on /watch?v= and ?shared= URLs. Add a cheap
path/substring precheck first; a false positive just falls through to
the previous full parse, so no redirect behavior changes.

Verified byte-identical responses (status, Location, header values)
against the previous implementations across redirect, passthrough,
and no-env cases.

Sets security headers based on environment variables.
This function reads specific environment variables and uses their values
to set corresponding security headers. The headers that can be set are:
- cache-control
- permissions-policy
- strict-transport-security
- referrer-policy
- x-content-type-options
- x-download-options
- x-frame-options
- x-permitted-cross-domain-policies
- content-security-policy
- content-security-policy-report-only
- cross-origin-embedder-policy
- cross-origin-opener-policy
- cross-origin-resource-policy
- reporting-endpoints
Each environment variable is associated with a specific setter function
that constructs the header. If the environment variable is set, the
corresponding header is added to the options dictionary.
Returns:
dict: A dictionary containing the security headers and their values.
