Rename Camel header(s) across all DSLs
org.apache.camel.upgrade.camel418_3.RenameHeaders
Renames Camel header(s) from old name(s) to new name(s) across all DSL types: Java method calls (.setHeader, .getHeader), Simple expressions (${header.name}), XML DSL (<setHeader name="...">), and YAML DSL (setHeader.name). Supports both single header rename (oldHeaderName/newHeaderName) and bulk rename (headerMappings). Only migrates safe contexts to avoid false positives.
