Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe

Our current default max header size is 8KB.

opensearch-project/security-dashboards-plugin#1311 (comment)

When using JWT token-based authentication, an 8KB header size is insufficient.
Elasticsearch encountered the same issue and has increased the default value to 16KB.
see : elastic/elasticsearch#88725

Unless there are any particular concerns, I suggest we do the same and change our default to 16KB as well.
