client: do not fallback to GET if HEAD on _ping fail to connect

When we see an `ECONNREFUSED` (or equivalent) from an attempted `HEAD` on the
`/_ping` endpoint there is no point in trying again with `GET` since the server
is not responding/available at all.

Once vendored into the cli this will partially mitigate https://github.com/docker/cli/issues/1739
("Docker commands take 1 minute to timeout if context endpoint is unreachable")
by cutting the effective timeout in half.
