Custom Headers

NOTE: As of https://github.com/brave/brave-core/pull/2442, below custom header is not set anymore on desktop.

Since Brave still has a relatively small user base, we avoid sharing extra information like a custom UA where possible. We do have some exceptions though where we will share that a user is a Brave user through a custom header.
