replace is actually *replace*. There must be a copy of the same header
removed from the request in order to replace.

Additionally this is only possible in current Squid with registered
headers (RFC defined). Unknown custom headers cannot be replaced like
this. Sponsorship or patches welcome to enable this for unregistered
headers.

Client IP information is already provided by Squid in these common headers:
   X-Forwarded-For: [... ,] $(client-ip)
   X-Client-IP: $(client-ip)

Ensure forwarded_for is ON (the default) to receive them from your Squid.
