    HEAD responses should return same status as GET

    According to the HTTP spec, a HEAD request should return the same
    status and headers as the GET request (including content-type and
    content-length). The HEAD request simply strips out the body and
    returns no body. Any case where HEAD routing returned a different
    status code than GET, now returns the same status and headers.

    Any case where HEAD was supported where GET was not supported now
    supports both GET and HEAD.

    The wsgi.render_response code now handles HEAD appropriately and
    will maintain headers while enforcing no body data is returned.

    The bulk of this change is to support the same behavior between
    deploying Keystone under eventlet and under HTTPD + mod_wsgi. In
    the case of deploying under HTTPD + mod_wsgi, there are cases
    where mod_wsgi will turn a HEAD request into a GET request to
    ensure that the proper response is rendered. With these changes
    all HEAD responses will respond in the same manner under either
    eventlet or mod_wsgi.
