Solid Resource has method `async getLinkHeader(ignoreCache?: boolean)`. The successful linkHeader result exposes interface of https://www.npmjs.com/package/http-link-header which allows flexible access to the parsed links from the link header. e.g. `linkHeaderResult.linkHeader.get("rel", "acl")` By default, the parsed link header is stored and read from cache. Closes o-development#59

Solid Resources now have method
async getLinkHeader(ignoreCache?: boolean).The successful linkHeader result exposes interface of https://www.npmjs.com/package/http-link-header which allows flexible access to the parsed links from the link header.
e.g.
linkHeaderResult.linkHeader.get("rel", "acl")By default, the parsed link header is stored and read from cache.The cache gets cleared when the resource is deleted.To consider: Clear resource's link header cache also when a resource is updated, or whenever it is fetched with an error?Update: we always make a fresh
HEADrequest. No cache involved.We also expose all other headers in raw form via
resource.getHeaders(): Promise<Headers>andresource.getHeader(headerName: string): Promise<string|null>Closes #59
