Empty remote_url_allow_hosts now blocks all remote host access in new version

In this version, empty <remote_url_allow_hosts></remote_url_allow_hosts> will block all access to remote hosts while in previous versions it did nothing. If you want to keep old behaviour and you have empty remote_url_allow_hosts element in configuration file, remove it. #20058 (Vladimir Chebotarev).
