Research direction

Start at ODataHttpRequest.init and inspect how headers from the Connection argument and the headers keyword argument are handled. Confirm the intended precedence described in the issue, then verify that requests preserve inherited headers while allowing explicitly supplied headers to override them.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

enhancement

When executing a request with pyodata's Client, one may need to use some headers, for example for authentication purpose. ODataHttpRequest takes both a Connection argument and a headers keyword-argument, whereas Connection object might already have a headers attribute.
Hence, ODataHttpRequest's init() should merge headers from Connection and from args, overriding the first with the second if necessary.
