[AIRFLOW-1016] Allow HTTP HEAD request method on HTTPSensor

This PR provides the HEAD http method on top of GET. This is useful
for getting responses without a body, and provides a lighter weight
response.

Closes #2175 from msempere/AIRFLOW-1016/allow-
http-head-request-method-on-httpsensor

> HTTPSensor hardcodes the HTTP request method to `GET`, and could be the case where `HEAD` method is needed to act as a sensor.
> This case is useful when we just need to retrieve some meta data and not the complete body for that particular request, and that metadata information is enough for our sensor.
