 REST API: Improve performance for HEAD requests.

 By default, the REST API responds to HEAD rqeuests by calling the GET
 handler and omitting the body from the response. While convenient, this
 ends up performing needless work that slows down the API response time.

 This commit adjusts the Core controllers to specifically handle HEAD
 requests by not preparing the response body.

 Fixes #56481.
