Description
It would be useful to support removing specific HTTP headers via filter rules. For example, it would be useful to specify via a filter rule that we don't want to send `Sec-GPC` HTTP header to a specific website (for webcompat reasons).

Research direction
Start by reviewing the flatbuffer work in pull request #416, which blocks this issue. Then trace how filter rules are represented and applied to HTTP headers, using the Sec-GPC example as the target behavior. Done means a filter rule can remove a specified header for a specific website without sending it.
