[request] user-agent header setting for webdav (or other remote) sources

[Ardakilic]

Heya,

It would be awesome if we could set our own user agent for Joplin through the settings pages.

I'm blacklisting various user-agent strings to blacklist some known crawlers from my self-hosted Seafile instance, however, because Joplin uses node-fetch's user agent directly, which is node-fetch/1.0 (+https://github.com/bitinn/node-fetch) currently, it gets stuck on my blacklist word list because it contains the word github.

I can simplify my wordlist, or make a whitelist for node-fetch, however, these won't be a proper way to whitelist Joplin on my server directly, or won't let me write rules specifically for Joplin.

Environment

Joplin version: Joplin 1.0.170 (prod, darwin) (but possibly for all versions)
Platform: OSX (but possibly for all versions)

Steps To Reproduce

1. Create a dummy http bin to check headers such as https://postb.in/
2. Set webdav url to this bin to check user-agent header
3. It's node-fetch/1.0 (+https://github.com/bitinn/node-fetch)

I would appreciate if this would be considered.

Thanks in advance,
