Add auth. header to /os/v1/config requests
Allows the API to identify devices requesting configuration and apply routing logic (e.g. switch from TCP to UDP OpenVPN configuration).
In the not-so-distant future we may chose to begin switching devices from the default TCP OpenVPN configuration, to stateless UDP config, to reduce load on the backend and increase reliability of the VPN (Cloudlink) connections. This change adds
Authorization
header to requests{{api}}/os/v1/config
endpoint, with which the API can begin identifying devices and depending on device config vars/model returning the relevant OpenVPN (or other type of configuration)... also balena-os/os-config#75
