I was able to start kibana locally from source code (this time on windows). With setting `server.cors.origin` I get same error (last time I got same error on unix)

```
$ sh ./bin/kibana
FATAL { ValidationError: child "server" fails because [child "cors" fails because ["cors" must be a boolean]]

  isJoi: true,

  details:
   [ { message: '"cors" must be a boolean',
       path: 'server.cors',
       type: 'boolean.base',
       context: [Object] } ],
  _object:
   { pkg:
      { version: '5.6.8',
        branch: '5.6',
        buildNum: 8467,

     dev: { basePathProxyTarget: 5603 },
     pid: { exclusive: false },
     cpu: undefined,
     cpuacct: undefined,
     server: { cors: [Object] } },
  annotate: [Function] }

```

I think if I start kibana like this `$ sh ./bin/kibana` it starts in [prod mode](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/production-mode-vs-development-mode-in-kibana/91078/2)
