    SimpleXMLRPCServer and DocXMLRPCServer don't look at
    the path of the HTTP request at all; you can POST or
    GET from / or /RPC2 or /blahblahblah with the same results.
    Security scanners that look for /cgi-bin/phf will therefore report
    lots of vulnerabilities.
    
    Fix: add a .rpc_paths attribute to the SimpleXMLRPCServer class,
    and report a 404 error if the path isn't on the allowed list.
    
    Possibly-controversial aspect of this change: the default makes only
    '/' and '/RPC2' legal.  Maybe this will break people's applications
    (though I doubt it).  We could just set the default to an empty tuple,
    which would exactly match the current behaviour.
