Description
The goal is to make the correlation_id available to external systems like AA and PDP, so they can add it to the logs and make tracing easier.
I propose to add a generic header to all outgoing HTTP calls:
X-OpenConext-Correlation-Id

Research direction
Start by locating the shared HTTP client or the outgoing HTTP call sites, then trace where the correlation_id is available and how external calls are made. Done means calls to external systems such as AA and PDP include the X-OpenConext-Correlation-Id header, with tests covering the header propagation.
