Classic298 75df948f34 feat: forward client User-Agent to model backends via {{USER_AGENT}} placeholder (#26333)
Adds a {{USER_AGENT}} custom-header placeholder that relays the inbound
client's User-Agent to upstream model backends, so providers see the real
client instead of Open WebUI's internal aiohttp UA. This makes upstream
usage/cost attribution and backend telemetry possible, and is opt-in
per-connection (no global flag): admins add {{USER_AGENT}} to a connection's
custom headers in Admin > Settings > Connections.

The placeholder is sourced from the live inbound request (with a metadata
fallback for detached RAG/tool calls), so it resolves on every prompt-sending
path, not just chat completions:

- OpenAI completions, Responses API, and proxy — all route through
  get_headers_and_cookies, which now passes the request into get_custom_headers.
- Anthropic Messages API (/api/v1/messages) — already covered, it delegates
  to the chat completion handler.
- Ollama (/api/chat, /v1/completions, /v1/chat/completions, /v1/messages,
  /v1/responses) — previously had no custom-header support at all; send_request
  now applies per-connection custom headers (with templating) for every
  Ollama prompt endpoint.

Custom headers are applied after the built-in user-info headers so explicit
admin-configured headers take precedence. The other existing placeholders
({{CHAT_ID}}, {{USER_ID}}, ...) now also work on the newly covered paths.

Frontend: the connection editor's Headers field is now shown for Ollama
connections too (previously gated to non-Ollama), so the placeholder can be
configured there.
