Matthias Riße 7f4f3434ec fix: consider HEAD requests to be pulls (#6750)
Previously an anonymous GET request to e.g.
https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/HEAD was allowed, as GET requests
are considered pulls and those don't need authentication for a public
repository, but a HEAD request to the same URL was rejected with a 401.
Since the result of a HEAD request is a subset of the result of a GET
request it is safe to allow HEAD as well.

This isn't really a practical issue for Forgejo itself, but I have encountered this in https://codeberg.org/forgejo-aneksajo/forgejo-aneksajo/issues/40. Since the fix isn't git-annex specific I am proposing it here.
