z/OS Connect EE - provide a pass-through mapping option for HTTP headers

Provide for direct mapping of Request HTTP headers to Response HTTP headers, without any need for processing.

In our environment, certain headers are used for global tagging and tracking requests and transactions, but are not necessarily processed by every service provider. So it should be made possible for z/OS Connect to accept headers from the request, and then just pass them in the response, without even sending them to the service provider. ]

This could also be implemented as an "echo" function in Liberty HTTP, but we think, and some IBMers agree, that should be a z/OS Connect API function.

    We have similar requirements. The client will send in a UUID that identifies the message, and the response must include that same UUID in a different header (i.e., REQUEST UUID=1234, RESPONSE ECHO-UUID=1234).
