Sebastiaan van Stijn d69fde4c60 client: Client.Ping: improve error handling and fallback
The Ping function first tries to do a HEAD request, but the parsePingResponse
was written with the assumption that a Body could be present in the response
that may include errors returned by the API server.

HEAD responses don't include a body, so there's no response to handle, and
no errors to return by the API, other than a HTTP status code.

This patch:

- Rewrites `parsePingResponse` to a `newPingResponse`, removing the error-
  handling for the response-body. It's also simplified, because a non-nil
  response is guaranteed to have a non-nil Header (but it may not have
  any of the headers set that are used for the Ping).
- Rewrites the `Client.Ping` to only return a Ping-response from the HEAD
  request if no error was returned (i.e., we connected with the API) and
  a successful status-code, otherwise it will fallback to a GET request,
  which allows (for non "OK" (200) status-codes) returning errors from
  the daemon (for example, if the daemon is in an unhealthy state).
