#781: [PATCH] Support HTTP HEAD method in protocol-http

 Currently, the protocol-http modules only support the GET method. However,
 in UPnP media streaming, it is comming for the HEAD method to be used.
 Unfortunately, this patch didn't solve my problems with my Bravia TV, but
 it should add proper support for the HEAD method.

 There is one thing that I am still unsure of: the handle_listen_prefix
 function calls connection_unlink when a HEAD request is being processed,
 but I'm not 100% sure that that is correct and sufficient cleanup.

 Patch is against 0.9.21, but it should apply to git master as well (not
 tested, but there has been only one small change to this file).
