Good afternoon, 

 Hope you are all doing well.
 I am trying to implement the code generators for the grpc flatbuffers 
library, however i am facing an issue. I have been testing the currnent 
implementation that are implemented in the flatbuffers library and 
upgrading them to support the latest gRPC v1.35.0. The issue comes to light 
whenever i try to call a grpc-go server from any other implementation, the 
grpc-go server requires a `content-type` header of type 
`application/grpc+flatbuffers` which makes sense. However whenever i try to 
set that content-type from any other client the client ignores the set 
header and defaults to `application/grpc` which crashes the go gRPC server 
since the server is expecting a header with `+flatbuffers` in it for it to 
decode and encode the data properly. How should we solve this so we can 
include the support of flatbuffers into grpc, which some languages have 
integrated properly with (swift, ts, python).

Is this an issue that should be reported in the `grpc/grpc-go` repository 
or the main repository? and if so what would be the solution for this 
instance, since according to the 
https://github.com/grpc/grpc/blob/v1.35.0/doc/PROTOCOL-HTTP2.md 
documentation we can set a custom suffix `Content-Type → "content-type" 
"application/grpc" [("+proto" / "+json" / {custom})]`

example: Go lang to Go lang

```
:method POST
:scheme http 
:path /models.Greeter/SayHello 
:authority localhost:3000 
content-type application/grpc+flatbuffers 
user-agent grpc-go/1.35.0 te trailers grpc-timeout 9997779u
```
 As you can see if its being called from go lang it doesn't have issues 
however when I call the server from the python client it clearly doesn't 
append the +flatbuffers suffix

python to Go lang

```

:scheme http 

:method POST
:authority localhost:3000 
:path /models.Greeter/SayHello 
te trailers 
content-type application/grpc 
user-agent grpc-python/1.35.0 grpc-c/14.0.0 (osx; chttp2)
```

i've tried this as a solution `with_call(hello_request, 
metadata=[('content-type', 'application/grpc+flatbuffers')])`.
