• PR#1982 make Uri.is_host_loopback() only return true for localhost and 127.0.0.1 exactly.
  The old behavior could potentially return "true" for URLs that were not, in fact, local,
  and this could cause security issues if is_host_loopback was used in certain ways.

• Potential breaking change warning: This release changes the "default" proxy for the WinHTTP backend to go back to WINHTTP_ACCESS_TYPE_DEFAULT_PROXY. See https://github.com/microsoft/cpprestsdk/commit/60e067e71aebebdda5d82955060f5f0821c9df1d for more details. To get automatic WPAD behavior, set the proxy to auto detect.

• Improved CMake generation of UWP binaries.
