net/http: accept HEAD requests with a body

RFC 7231 permits HEAD requests to contain a body, although it does
state there are no defined semantics for payloads of HEAD requests
and that some servers may reject HEAD requests with a payload.

Accept HEAD requests with a body.

Fix a bug where a HEAD request with a chunked body would interpret
the body as the headers for the next request on the connection.

For #53960.
