   ### Motivation
   
   Pulsar Proxy has a support to use it as HTTP reverse proxy to access 
Broker’s admin API and can also be extended to act as a reverse proxy other 
HTTP endpoints. Sometimes, it is very crucial to add customizable headers into 
the HTTP response returned by Proxy to enhance the security experience while 
using Proxy over HTTP.
   
   Response headers in a reverse HTTP proxy are critical for maintaining and 
enhancing the security of the web applications and services behind the proxy. 
These headers act as a first line of defense, hardening the web server 
infrastructure and protecting clients from common web vulnerabilities. 
   
   For example, when implementing a reverse HTTP proxy, security headers such 
as `Referrer-Policy`, `X-Content-Type-Options`, `Strict-Transport-Security`, 
`X-Content-Type-Options`, etc., are useful to prevent security attacks like 
clickjacking, MIME-sniffing, data leakage, and more. So, such headers play a 
crucial role in enhancing the security posture of proxy infrastructure.
   
   Therefore, we would like to add support into Pulsar Proxy where users can 
add custom response headers by passing them into the configuration. This PIP 
will add this support by adding a new configuration called 
`proxyHttpResponseHeadersJson` where user can pass multiple headers with 
key-value map into the json format. Proxy server will retrieve headers from 
this configuration and pass it as response headers for every http request when 
user wants to use Pulsar Proxy as an HTTP reverse proxy.
   
   ### Modifications
   
   Add a new configuration `proxyHttpResponseHeadersJson` to the Proxy 
configuration.
   eg:
   ```
   proxyHttpResponseHeadersJson=`{"header1":"value1","header2":"value2"}`
   ```

   ### Matching PR in forked repository
   
   PR in forked repository: <!-- ENTER URL HERE -->
   
   <!--
   After opening this PR, the build in apache/pulsar will fail and instructions 
will
   be provided for opening a PR in the PR author's forked repository.
   
   apache/pulsar pull requests should be first tested in your own fork since 
the 
   apache/pulsar CI based on GitHub Actions has constrained resources and quota.
   GitHub Actions provides separate quota for pull requests that are executed 
in 
   a forked repository.
   
   The tests will be run in the forked repository until all PR review comments 
have
   been handled, the tests pass and the PR is approved by a reviewer.
