Title:
  serial console in Horizon is broken by origin header verification

Status in OpenStack Dashboard (Horizon):
  Invalid
Status in OpenStack Compute (Nova):
  In Progress

Bug description:
  Issue
  =====

  The console tab in Horizon doesn't show the console of the instance
  anymore if the "serial console" feature is enabled.

  
  Steps to reproduce
  ==================

  * Enable "serial console" feature in "nova.conf"
    [Default]
    vnc_enabled=False
    [serial_console]
    enabled=True
    base_url=ws://<host-ip>:6083
  * Launch an instance
  * Open to the "console" tab of that instance

  
  Expected behavior
  =================

  The login prompt from the instance is shown via serial console 
  connection.

  
  Actual behavior
  ===============

  * Black screen + "Status: Closed"
  * The traceback shows a validation error [1]. 
  * If "base_url" is NOT set in "nova.conf" the console will still not 
     connect, but nothing will be logged.

  Possible root causes
  --------------------

  This validation logic was introduced with [2]. The unit seems to be
  based on the assumption that the serial console uses "https" [3]. AFAIK
  the supposed protocol is "ws".

  
  Logs & Env.
