Always ignore HEAD errors

souphttpsrc now does a HEAD request at start which prevents playback with
servers that do not support this method (ie a 405 http error is returned). I've
attached a sample log.

The solution is to always ignore HEAD errors, the attached patch does this.

Also I'm not sure why the HEAD request is always needed, shouldn't it only be
done when requesting if the stream is seekable in READY state ?
