The io/ioutil package has been deprecated in Go 1.16. This commit
replaces the existing io/ioutil functions with their new definitions in
io and os packages.

Monitoring systems and load balancers are usually configured to use HEAD
requests for health monitoring. The /_ping endpoint currently does not
support this type of request, which means that those systems have fallback
to GET requests.
This patch adds support for HEAD requests on the /_ping endpoint.
Although optional, this patch also returns `Content-Type` and `Content-Length`
headers in case of a HEAD request; Refering to RFC 7231, section 4.3.2:
The HEAD method is identical to GET except that the server MUST NOT
send a message body in the response (i.e., the response terminates at
the end of the header section). The server SHOULD send the same
header fields in response to a HEAD request as it would have sent if
the request had been a GET, except that the payload header fields
(Section 3.3) MAY be omitted. This method can be used for obtaining
metadata about the selected representation without transferring the
representation data and is often used for testing hypertext links for
validity, accessibility, and recent modification.
A payload within a HEAD request message has no defined semantics;
sending a payload body on a HEAD request might cause some existing
implementations to reject the request.
The response to a HEAD request is cacheable; a cache MAY use it to
satisfy subsequent HEAD requests unless otherwise indicated by the
Cache-Control header field (Section 5.2 of [RFC7234]). A HEAD
response might also have an effect on previously cached responses to
GET; see Section 4.3.5 of [RFC7234].
With this patch applied, either `GET` or `HEAD` requests work; the only
difference is that the body is empty in case of a `HEAD` request;

The client is also updated to use `HEAD` by default, but fallback to `GET`
if the daemon does not support this method.

Since Go 1.7, context is a standard package. Since Go 1.9, everything
that is provided by "x/net/context" is a couple of type aliases to
types in "context".
Many vendored packages still use x/net/context, so vendor entry remains
for now.

In some cases a server may return an error on the ping response but
still provide version details. The client should use these values when
available.
