feature request for additonal head specs

[equal-l2]

The following formulae don't have head spec, while their description says that they have the own repository on Github.

I will make PR for each formula when I have time, but I would greatly appreciate anyone's help.

[bfontaine]

Good idea! I just made one for known_hosts (#6541).

[ilovezfs]

I'd actually prefer we absolutely not do this. In many cases it's deliberate that we do not have a head spec, and do not want to support one.

[zmwangx]

Compiling head is often tricky, and it's not a good user experience anyway (both in terms of upgrades and how easy head builds break) so I personally wouldn't recommend head spec for day to day use. From my experience they're usually reserved for debugging purposes. Therefore, I think it's a bad idea to blindly add them. Instead, add them one at a time, when the need is there.

[MikeMcQuaid]

Agreed with above. Add them only when a user wants to use them.
