Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
We edit several headers usually when testing APIs, it's would be more convenient to support bulk edit if we copy the whole http request header from browser.

Describe the solution you'd like
Add a new mode for headers modification, we can call it 'bulk edit'. In this mode, we can paste string to input field, it'll be convert to HTTP header by line break

As an example:

Accept: */*
Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate
Content-Type: application/json;charset=UTF-8

will be separate by new line character into three headers

Accept: */*

Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate

Content-Type: application/json;charset=UTF-8

Hi @joe223,

I've deployed an MVP of bulk edit feature for Headers and Parameters sections on beta.hoppscotch.io.

Step 1: Switch to "Bulk edit" mode

Step 2: Paste bulk content - entries are separated by newlines, key and value are separated by :

Step 3: Send the request or switch to "Key-value edit" mode.
