cache_fetch: Send Content-Length: 0 for POST and PUT

otherwise keep the existing logic of sending no Content-Length header if there
is no request body.

This code runs before vcl_backend_fetch, so should VCL gain back control over
Content-Length as proposed in #4331, it will be possible again to override this
default.

Fixes #4331 for the special case
