Is your feature request related to a problem?

Currently the Library automatically adds the header "Accept-Encoding: identity;q=1,chunked;q=0.1,*;q=0\r\n", except when using HTTP1.0.
This can be a problem in some cases and can not be changed without editing the library source.
Adding a custom Accept-Encoding-header with addHeader() will result in two headers beeing sent.

Describe the solution you'd like

Add a function e.g. HTTPClient::setAcceptEncoding similar to HTTPClient::setUserAgent for overriding the default Accept-Encoding header.
