Description

We allow users to override the authority per-call, but we currently don't do any verification that that authority would be permitted for the current server. We should verify the provided authority against the TLS cert of the connection and fail in some way if the cert is not good for the requested authority. We would cache these verifications for the connection in a simple hash map.

It is the Java equivalent of https://github.com/grpc/grpc/pull/471
