This PR changes the User-Agent string sent by the client in API calls from the default to a more readable and useful format for metrics and analytics. The new format is
<App Name> has whitespaces removed, to make for easier parsing on the backend.
<Device Identifier> is of the form iPhone8,4, for example. Further converting this to the consumer-facing name, e.g. iPhone SE for the previous example, requires a nontrivial amount of additional code, and was deemed not worth the effort.
