Support for custom auth headers on WMS/WMTS layers

Currently the ArcGIS Pro SDK supports credential management for layers requiring ArcGIS Pro authentication. However, some OGC-compliant layers (e.g., WMS, WMTS) may require bearer token authentication. While ArcGIS Pro itself can handle basic authentication within Pro, there is no way to add headers with bearer token support to such resources. Ideal implementation would support bearer auth and manage token refresh, but even a reference to a (separately managed) c# key/value pair would be useable. Similarly, the ability to add arbitrary headers (e.g., cache control) to such requests would be widely useful.

Esri product managers  - If you are considering adding this please, feel free to message me.   This would be very helpful.  I am our lead solutions engineer, I would be glad to collaborate and connect the right people, if there is interest on both ends.  We'll be at the User Conference next week, with our product manager and executive team.  @KoryKramer it would be great to see you again, I can swing by the Pro area?
