Title: Resource mapping addition for HEAD requests

Should there be a default mapping for HEAD requests for resource mappings?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypertext_Transfer_Protocol#Request_methods

If so, should Grails automatically respond to this request by issuing a corresponding GET request and only sending back the headers? I could work on that next if this pull request is accepted. Please let me know.
