Add HEAD route for remotes and gems remote type (#148)

Remotes answer only GET, so HEAD probes get 405, and there is no RubyGems remote. Synthesized (github_*) and rewritten (npm, helm, pypi, puppet, terraform, nuget) mutable responses need the GET path for HEAD lengths to match.

- add a HEAD route for /api/v1/remote/{name}/*; rewritten and synthesized mutable HEADs go through the GET path
- mark rewriting providers with a ResponseRewriter capability; set Content-Length on proxied GETs
- use the remote's upstream client for upstream HEAD
- add a gems remote type: compact index and specs mutable, .gem and gemspec immutable
- add gems docs, UI snippet and e2e caching case; add HEAD-vs-GET e2e checks
