Allow HEAD requests for read_api and read_user scope tokens
What does this MR do?
The HEAD method is identical to GET except that the server MUST NOT send a message body in the response (i.e., the response terminates at the end of the header section)
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7231#section-4.3.2
Judging from that section of the RFC 7231 it should be safe to allow HEAD requests in the read_api and read_user scopes
