Using the node-github accept header

[hiimbex]

So basically this bot depends on these changes: https://github.com/mikedeboer/node-github/pull/555. Right now I've simply replace it in my node_modules, but that won't work when this gets deployed, so I'm not sure what's the best option.

The only line I truly need from my PR is the accept header here. According to some of their docs I can add an accept header when I instantiate the GitHub API; unfortunately, probot does the work on that end.

Options:

1. Update probot's node-github handling to allow additional accept headers
2. Don't use context.github and authenticate through node-github directly in my bot and pin my branch in the package.json
3. Beg @zeke to merge my PR 😆

Thoughts @bkeepers?

I think you can pass headers in the request:

context.github.things.doTheThing({
  headers: {
    Accept: "application/vnd.github.scarlet-witch-preview+json"
  }
});

Wow. So the moral of this story is, I never even need to open that node-github pull request and I could've done this from the very beginning. pats self on back 🙃

or: if I had been paying closer attention to what you were trying to accomplish, I could have been helpful months ago.
