Backport to 18.9: Geo: Fix site validation when outbound request filtering is enabled

What does this MR do and why?

Backports severe bug Geo site URL is blocked when using outbound fil... (#544821) to current released version.

Configuring outbound filtering on Gitlab Dedicated causes issues with Geo region setup. The documentation explicitly states that Geo region will not be blocked, but it creates issues regardless. Adding the Geo region to outbound list fixes it. So Geo should be already added to outbound filtering, as the documentation states.
