Description
With this PR we provide the option to route the WordPress.com API requests to your wp.com sandbox e.g to use the sandbox billing mode instead of production when creation orders after an In-App purchase. That way, we avoid having to set up Charles to map the request, and ensure that all calls to create an order goes to the wp.com sandbox.
Firstly I intended to add a debug setting to switch on or off routing to the wp.com sandbox, but I ended up discarding that given the complexity of configuring all remotes to use the wp.com username. After that, I hardcoded the sandbox URL with the logged in WordPress.com username, but also rejected it because of security reasons.
