Send required object storage PUT headers in /uploads/authorize API

Stan Hu requested to merge sh-send-put-headers-object-storage into master

As revealed in https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/49957, Rails generates a signed URL with a fixed HTTP header with Content-Type: application/octet-stream. However, if we change or remove that for some reason in Workhorse, this breaks the upload with a 403 Unauthorized because the signed URL is not valid.

We can make this more robust by doing the following:

  1. In the /uploads/authorize request, Rails can return a StoreHeaders key-value pair in the JSON response containing the required headers that the PUT request must include.
  2. Use those HTTP headers if that value is present.
  3. For backwards compatibility, if that key is not present, default to the old behavior of sending the fixed Content-Type header.

See gitlab-workhorse!297 (merged) as well.
