fix: HEAD requests fetch and stream the full body (#89)

Fixes #70

## Why
Docker `HEAD` routes mapped to `handleProxy`, which ran a full `Fetch` + `io.Copy` — downloading the entire blob (and fetching upstream on a miss) only for net/http to discard the body. HEAD existence checks (manifests, blobs) are common.

## Changes
- Add `Engine.Head`: answers cached artifacts/indexes from store metadata (no blob download); on a miss issues an upstream `HEAD` (with bearer-token handling) and never caches a body.
- Route `HEAD /v2/{remote}/*` to a dedicated `handleProxyHead` that writes headers only.
- Add e2e tests for HEAD on a blocklisted path (403) and an unknown remote (404).

## Note
`headUpstream` uses `http.DefaultClient` to build cleanly on master; it will pick up the shared timeout-configured client from #67 once that merges.

## Validation
- `make e2e` passes (includes new HEAD tests).
