Description
Hi feign team,
It would be very useful to be able to exclude some specific headers from the feign http logs. For example we don't want to log authorisation header for security reasons.
Have a nice day.

Research direction
Start by tracing Feign's HTTP logging entry points and existing logger configuration; the issue does not name specific files or tests. Done means callers can configure specific headers, such as authorization, to be omitted from HTTP logs, with coverage for the exclusion behavior.
