Just for my understanding, if I have a HTTP client configured to "my-user-agent" and then I later set it to "some-new-agent" on the request level, it will override it at the request level right? Just wanted to double check the order of precedence (not that I expect it to be used in practice that way)

precisely, request level override always wins over the client level override.

About the change
This change attempts to add UA so that clients can set this at their end and it can supplement the server for audit and debugging purpose, we do have
X-Client-Version
which helps solve most of the cases as this helps server understand that what version of the client the server is interacted, but in a world where we want to see the logs at server end and identify what happened to a client will be very hard.Putting this change out to see if folks are interested in this !
Testing
Added a new UT
