BUG/MINOR: http-ana: Don't send payload for internal responses to HEAD requests
When an internal response is returned to a client, the message payload must be
skipped if it is a reply to a HEAD request. The payload is removed from the HTX
message just before the message forwarding.
This bugs has been around for a long time. It was already there in the pre-HTX
versions. In legacy HTTP mode, internal errors are not parsed. So this bug
cannot be easily fixed. Thus, this patch should only be backported in all HTX
versions, as far as 2.0. However, the code has significantly changed in the
2.2. Thus in the 2.1 and 2.0, the patch must be entirely reworked.
