API Connect: Add support for custom parameters in product plans

Currently, only the transaction rate can be set up in an API product plan. We have a use case where a consumer is allowed to submit attachments up to a certain size, based on a subscribed (and approved) plan. Since there is no way to do this today, we have a workaround where we set up a soft transaction limit with a precise name - max-attachment-size. We added an XSLT transformation into the API assembly to pick this value based on the name - max-attachment-size - up from the subscribed plan and add it as a parameter to the HTTP request. The backend service receiving the request will enforce the header. A side effect of it is that the max-attachment-size limit appears as a traffic limit on the API Developer portal instead of being described for what it is - message size limit.

We would like the ability to set up a custom parameter that gets added as a custom HTTP header and can be enforced by a backend service. The parameter role (i.e max message size) should be displayed correctly in the API Developer Portal.
