mmmturkeybacon PandA HEAD request

Accepts a HIT with a PandA link by a HEAD request instead of a normal GET request. Add &MTB_HEAD_REQUEST to the end of a PandA URL to run. This is a very bare bones script and gives almost no feedback to the user, so keep an eye on your queue and edit REQUEST_DELAY to suit your needs.
