Add a UserAgent string for fetching metadata that includes the version numbers of the components.
The business case is to allow metadata providers (campuses that use it the local SSO) the ability to find SPs that have versions that may have security flaws or bugs.
I mispoke, it's only the dynamic provider that does that, the batch loader doesn't use the same HTTP transport code.

Which version of the SP adds this feature? When I do a dump of all of the headers that SP 2.3.1 has when it makes the request, no version headers are present in the metadata request.

Note that Apache can extract request headers into custom log fields, and each library is included in its own request header with the version.
