Add SDK version to Client user agent
Feature
It would be great if we could add information about SDK to Apify Client calls that are being called with Apify SDK and not Client directly.
Motivation
We would like to understand which Actor runs on the platform are triggered from Client (external calls) or SDK (implies either some Actor implementation, or perhaps a wrong selection of library). The user agents are already tracked on platform, so no changes needed there.
Ideal solution or implementation, and any additional constraints
The best way to do that would probably be by adding SDK version to the Client user agent.
Alternative solutions or implementations

Other context
If this is accepted, it might be worth adding even more info, like Crawlee version, if called from Crawlee.
Sounds good (and simple enough), I guess the first step is allowing to append to the UA from inside the client.
Better to do this sooner than later, right?
It's not super high prio TBH. But it would be nice if it didn't just die somewhere in icebox 😄
So it actually looks like the axios upgrade I did some time ago broke the custom UA completely, we didn't have any tests for this. It only works when I disable the request interceptors.
edit: false alert, the test had custom interceptor that removes all the headers
