After that PR, it's no longer possible (unless you do a dynamic_cast)
to set the remote address from a filter. This is something that we
need to do because we have specialized logic for this (XFF doesn't
work for us).
So this adds an extension point which will allow us to push that logic
down to ConnectionManagerUtility::mutateRequestHeaders() where it
belongs.
