ApiHeader overwrites schema type

[Dennis von der Bey]

Is there an existing issue for this?

Current behavior

The API header options type tells me there is a $schema.type option that I can pass OpenAPI Data types to. Sadly it overwrites the type always with string. It doesn't seem like this is needed and just limits us from using accurate types here?

Code where it happens:
https://github.com/nestjs/swagger/blob/2d999bd8940e6254755d9c5e7665b773bfb475aa/lib/decorators/api-header.decorator.ts#L30C1-L30C23

Minimum reproduction code

Steps to reproduce

No response

Expected behavior

I'd expect it to respect the user given type when building the OpenAPI yaml.
