fix(security): prevent Host header injection in story.js (#2102)

Browse Source 
* fix(security): prevent Host header injection in story.js

req.headers.host is attacker-controlled and used to construct the
redirect Location header and OG meta tag URLs. An attacker sending
Host: evil.com gets users redirected to evil.com (open redirect) and
social bots see OG tags pointing to evil.com (preview poisoning).

Hardcode the canonical domain instead of trusting the Host header.

* fix(security): replace req.headers.host with hardcoded canonical domain in og-story.js
