Fixes DOCS-13292
Updates the APM standard attributes documentation to accurately reflect default HTTP header collection behavior:
Hostheader is always collected ashttp.request.headers.hostby defaultUser-Agentheader is collected by default ashttp.useragentPreviously, the documentation incorrectly stated that "None are collected by default" for HTTP request headers. Engineering confirmed that both Host and User-Agent headers are collected by default in tracing libraries (confirmed for .NET, behavior in other libraries unconfirmed but expected to be consistent).

Additional notes
Based on engineering feedback from APMS-18505 escalation. The
User-Agentheader is stored inhttp.useragenttag (nothttp.request.headers.*) for historical reasons.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
