The Content Range response HTTP header is missing a unit declaration. It should be in the form :
Content-Range: <unit> <range-start>-<range-end>/<size>

Supplementary docs-
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Content-Range
https://httpwg.org/specs/rfc7233.html#header.content-range

This change also makes PostgREST compatible with Varnish HTTP Cache (https://varnish-cache.org/).

This breaks build and tests. Will close and re-roll another

@Oquile Definitely something we want, the lack of range-unit was also reported in #1089.

@Oquile You still interested in this one? Since it's a breaking change I'd be better to merge it now, I'll be doing a new release later today.

Seeing #1089 (comment), I think we should go with items instead of bytes for our <range-unit>.

There's also a Content-Range: rows.. I found in the wild but I don't think the name matters as much, let's go with the most common one(which seems to be items).

I think it would be better to be able to discuss breaking changes - and not have a workflow of doing them and then releasing immediately.

If you want to make a release soon, this should not go in.

No problem! Seemed like a simple fix so I gave it a try on #2204.. I bet it breaks a lot of tests though.

Bummer, this seems like something in need of a fix for quite a while now.
