Description

When you want to set many headers, then a route can become cluttered with many setHeader EIPs.

This makes observability / tooling / monitoring harder as they track each indivudually.
For example to set 10 headers.

If we have an EIP that allows to set multiple headers at once

In Java the DSL can accept a Map

setHeaders(Map.of("xxx", "yyyy")

But we should allow to set via camel languages also

setHeaders("foo", simple("xxx"), "bar", jq("/xxx"), ...)

And in XML and YAML DSL then it should be possible to set via language as well.
