Modify HTTP General headers to refer to Request/Response headers

[hamishwillee]

The term "General header" is no longer used in the HTTP/1.1 spec. This change replaces that glossary term in the HTTP header doc information tables that are affected by a comma separate list of the Request, Response headers.

Discussion on this in #4889 (comment)

There is more work to be done around this, but will do as separate PR.

FYI, further "associated" work on this done in #4988.

[Elchi3]

Looks good to me. I wonder if you want to update the "General Header" tags in the front matter in this PR? Otherwise a follow up on that would be good.

[hamishwillee]

@Elchi3 Thanks for the review. Yes, I would like to fix up the tags (done). This was a bit of a mishmash. In all cases they now have at least this set:

• HTTP
• HTTP Header
• Request header
• Response header
• Reference
  Ready for re-review

[Elchi3]

Nice! 👍
