lg: Change configuration of proxied hosts (not backward compatible)

This simplifies and clarify the configuration, while making it more
generic and getting rid of the "DOMAIN" variable.

Proxied hosts can now be reached over HTTP or HTTPS, through any DNS name,
and even through IP literals to avoid dependency on DNS.  With the
previous code, proxied hosts needed to be reachable with the fixed scheme
`http://<host>.<DOMAIN>:<port>`, and this was a big limitation for some
deployments.

This is not backwards compatible, users will have to adapt their
configuration.  We rename the `PROXY` variable to `HOSTS` to make that
extra-clear.
