Allow HEAD for POST tempurls

HEAD requests are already allowed for GET and PUT tempurls; this
commit adds that for POST tempurls. Since POST replaces all the
object's metadata, it's quite useful to be able to HEAD the object in
order to fetch the old metadata and do a client-side merge of the new
metadata (like with normal, token-authenticated POST requests).

To create such temporary URLs, first an X-Account-Meta-Temp-URL-Key
header must be set on the Swift account. Then, an HMAC-SHA1 (RFC 2104)
signature is generated using the HTTP method to allow (GET or PUT),
the Unix timestamp the access should be allowed until, the full path
to the object, and the key set on the account.
