Describe the bug
When constructing the request to OpenAI API, we name the attribution header Referer:

2dab3733fd/src/stores/settings/advanced.js (L684)

However it looks like it should be named HTTP-Referer.

Here is a translation request in OpenRouter's activity log:

And here is the same request with HTTP-Referer replacing Referer:

Is there a reason to use Referer? Does OpenAI needs it like that?
If not I'll be happy to open a PR for this. It'll make tracking the requests from VRCX way easier 😄

Docs for reference: https://openrouter.ai/docs/app-attribution

To Reproduce

Enable Bio Translate API
Set provider to OpenAI
Set API endpoint to https://openrouter.ai/api/v1/chat/completions
Enter API key
Select an AI model, I used z-ai/glm-4.5-air:free
Optionally set a system prompt, I used:

Your task is to translate bios from various languages to English. Output only the exact bio in English. Try to convey language nuances and meanings that don't translate directly.
Save
Translate any bio
See the app attribution in https://openrouter.ai/activity

Expected behavior
The requests should be attributed to VRCX and not show up as Unknown
