Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

When generating a Typescript Axis client, by default all header params being added as method parameters for each API endpoint.

This causes a problematic developer experience, as you have to continuously pass through header values that should be able to be configured at the HTTP client level (sdk keys, other special custom headers).

Describe the solution you'd like

Use an implicitHeaders property, like the Spring code gen, so that you can choose to include them or not.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Looked at the vendor extensions, felt too hacky.

Additional context

This is essential to generate SDKs that are developer friendly.

Research direction

Start by examining the typescript-axios generator and comparing its requested behavior with the Spring code generator's implicitHeaders property. Confirm how header parameters are currently exposed and make the option control whether they are included as endpoint method parameters, with coverage for both settings.
