Describe the contribution
Expand the "Increment Sequence" boolean on transmit message functions to be a more general "Update Header" boolean, so it can be used for other fields like timestamps, checksums, or user-defined fields too.
Fixes #2335
Fixes #1157
Testing performed
Build and run CFE, sanity check, confirm headers are as expected
Expected behavior changes
Headers will be updated more consistently/generically.
Note -- Messages classified as Commands will have headers updated, too - specifically the sequence count and checksum. This will apply to messages being created by SCH/SCH_LAB, and the time signals sent by CFE TIME. Previously the sequence counter was not set in any of these messages, so it would have always been zero. Hence receivers would not be relying on it for anything, and thus setting it nonzero shouldn't break anything, either. But there is a slight chance that some code had a dependency on this always being zero.
