Summary declarativeNetRequest modifyHeaders doesn't support custom headers

Created attachment 474805 [details] Example extension background.js Unlike Chrome and Firefox, Safari doesn't support custom headers with declarativeNetRequest modifyHeaders. Attached is a sample web extension demonstrating the issue. The extension gives the following error: "Invalid call to declarativeNetRequest.updateDynamicRules(). The 'addRules' value is invalid, because an error with rule at index 0: Rule with id 1 is invalid. The header `Foo` is not recognized." Another, tangential issue is that updateDynamicRules throws an exception, caught in my try-catch block, rather than rejecting the promise that's supposed to be returned by updateDynamicRules.
