What software would you like us to add to wolfi-os. Ideally include a URL to the project and its source.
This module allows NGINX to set, add, and clear arbitrary output and input headers. Unlike the standard add_header directive, this module works for all status codes (including 401, 404, 500, etc.) and allows for the removal of built-in headers like Server. It is a critical component for security hardening and custom header manipulation in production NGINX environments.

Add some justification for why this specific package and versions are important.
The standard NGINX add_header directive is restricted to specific HTTP status codes (2xx and 3xx) by default. The headers-more module provides critical functionality for production environments:
- Universal Header Control: It can set or clear headers for any HTTP status code, including error pages (401, 404, 5xx), which is essential for consistent security policies.
- Security Hardening: It allows for the easy removal of the Server header to prevent information leakage.
- Request Manipulation: It can modify input (request) headers, which is often necessary when NGINX is used as a reverse proxy for legacy upstream services.
- Industry Standard: This module is included by default in the OpenResty bundle and is a standard requirement for many containerized NGINX stacks.
