HTTP Access Control (CORS) Handler

The `access-control` package offers a minimal and straightforward implementation for managing HTTP Access Control (CORS) according to the W3C specification. It is designed as a focused utility for applications needing to handle cross-origin requests, abstracting the complexities of CORS header management. As of its last known release, the package is at version 1.0.1, published over 8 years ago, indicating it is no longer actively maintained. Its core functionality involves configuring allowed origins, HTTP methods, credentials handling, preflight request caching (`maxAge`), and exposing/allowing specific headers. A key differentiator is its direct handling of `OPTIONS` preflight requests and automatic `403 Forbidden` responses for invalid CORS attempts, as well as automatic adjustment of `Access-Control-Allow-Origin` when `*` is combined with `credentials: true` for specification compliance.
