New Behavior
This PR adds the ability to add custom headers to the API requests for all modules. It supports headers in the module arguments.
This PR is inspired by @clinta work in #1327
Contrast to Current Behavior
Currently there is no ability to add custom headers to API requests beyond inventory and lookup module.
Discussion: Benefits and Drawbacks
Custom headers are required for many deployments behind reverse proxies for additional authentication tokens or cookies. This only adds new compatibility and is fully backwards compatible.
It makes also all modules compatible with netbox branching plugin.
Drawback:
This PR modify the signature of the NetboxModule._connect_netbox_api function.
Changes to the Documentation
Documentation has been updated to reflect the new header support and NetboxModule._connect_netbox_api signature change in
docs/getting_started/contributing/modules/architecture.rstfile.Proposed Release Note Entry
