feat: add extra_headers support and comprehensive tests for custom inputs

Add extra_headers (HTTP headers) support alongside the existing
env_overrides and args_append fields, completing the full custom input
story for server configuration:

- stdio servers: additional args + env vars
- http servers: env vars + custom HTTP headers

Backend: update_config and save_server_inputs now accept extra_headers.
Frontend: config modal shows HTTP Headers key-value editor for http
transport servers.

Tests:
- Unit tests for InstalledServer custom fields (env_overrides,
  args_append, extra_headers) including serialization round-trip
  and default value verification.
- Integration tests for database persistence of all custom fields
  through install/update cycles.
- E2E Playwright tests for config modal custom input sections:
  visibility by transport type, add/remove env vars, add/remove
  headers, multi-line args input.

Closes #49
