Subject: [PATCH] Pre-flight requests to server /api/* endpoints

Before serving /api requests, make a 'pre-flight' request to
`/api/feature-flags/slow-database` and use the `X-Gitpod-Slow-Database`
header in the response to decide where to send the actual request;
either to the regular `server` service or the new `slow-server` service.
