Set Two Configuration Options for a Dictionary Based on an HTTP Source: Credentials and Http-headers

Set two configuration options for a dictionary based on an HTTP source: credentials and http-headers. #7092 (Guillaume Tassery)
Added support for setting credentials and http-headers configuration options for dictionaries using HTTP sources in ClickHouse.

Why it matters

This feature enables users to specify authentication credentials and custom HTTP headers for dictionaries that fetch data from HTTP sources, improving security and flexibility when accessing protected or customized HTTP endpoints.

How to use it

In the dictionary configuration file, under the HTTP source settings, specify the <credentials> and <http-headers> options to provide the necessary authentication tokens or custom headers for the HTTP requests used by the dictionary.
